Starring Anupam Kher as Singh and Akshaye Khanna as Baru, the Accidental Prime Minister is slated to hit the screens on January 11, 2019.
Cheat India
Emraan Hashmi runs a cheating mafia in the film and the Indian education system is exposed. Emraan is set to star in his first movie made by his very own production house, Emraan Hashmi Films.

Another real-life tale, the film explores the Batla House encounter case that took place in September 2008 and had resulted in the killing of suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorists.
