Emraan’s first Hollywood film
This could well be the best time of Emraan’s career. While several actors have been vying for a role in Hollywood, Emraan seems to have left them behind. Academy Award winning director Danis Tanovic of No Man’s Land fame recently signed on Emraan Hashmi for his next project.
The Bosnian writer-director was keen on signing the actor after watching several of his films. He approached Emraan to play the lead in his film which will be a under the collaborative banner of several production houses. Emraan, of course, had no reason to refuse. A source close to the actor says, “Emraan has never tried to fit into a conventional stereotype and has always been the one to experiment. Be it Shanghai, Once Upon A Time In Mumbai or his thriller series, Emraan has always pushed the envelope. While several actors shied away from the heroine-centric The Dirty Picture, Emraan agreed and walked away with stellar reviews. Danis is looking at doing some great work with Emraan, who he looks upon as one of the most talented actors he’s come across.”
Says producer Guneet Monga of Anurag Kashyap Films Pvt Ltd., one of the production banners of the film, “Emraan is a very good actor and we are excited to be working together. It will be interesting to see the combination of such a popular Indian star working with an Oscar-winning director in an international film. We are looking forward to a great collaboration.”
In times when several actors claim to be in talks with Hollywood producers, it’s certainly refreshing to see a dark horse take the lead.
