Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi has his figures crossed as his next venture, Why Cheat India, in which he is the lead actor and one of the co-producers, hits the screens this Friday.

Directed by Soumik Sen, Why Cheat India is a take on the maladies afflicting the education system in the country.

In a recent interview with the Hindusatn Times, the actor said he has almost shed the serial kisser tag as he started off with a film in which there were 10 kissing scenes and now he has just one kiss in Why Cheat India. He added that breaking out of a tag or a label associated with an actor does not happen overnight. Emraan Hashmi said it is unfortunate that people think of him when there is an onscreen kiss.

Speaking about Why Cheat India, he said the 'why' in the movie was added by the Central Board of Film Certification and added that he does not know why the board wanted to add the word. He further said he does not understand what that 'why' will do to the movie only the CBFC can explain that.

In an interview with The Telegraph, the actor had said he was shocked to learn about the cheating industry that is prevalent in the education system in the country and how doctors and IIT engineers write exams for undeserving students and help them pass the exams.
