After announcing his first home production, 'Captain Nawab', actor Emraan Hashmi has signed his second movie under his production banner titled 'Cheat India'.

The actor took to his Instagram page to share a photo announcing the project and revealed details about what could be his most ambitious project to date.

He wrote, "My production company is delighted to partner with #TSeries (Bhushan Kumar) and #EllipsisEntertainment (Tanuj Garg, Atul Kasbekar) on one of the most engaging and riveting scripts I've read in a long, long time. Our production is called #CheatIndia and it will be directed by Soumik Sen. The edge-of-the-seat drama will take a startling look at the crimes in the Indian education system which has created a parallel ecosystem infested with a mafia of sorts."

Thank you for all your love and mark February 2019 in your calendar!"

The movie revolves around the crimes in the Indian education system which has created a parallel ecosystem infested with a mafia of sorts.
