After Karan Johar's venture, the actor will be seen in Badmaash Company director Parmeet Sethi's upcoming film
The Dirty Picture got Vidya Balan a lot of glittering awards. As for Emraan Hashmi, the film brought in offers from the biggest production houses in the Hindi cinema industry. Emraan, who has reportedly been roped in for Karan Johar's production to be directed by Rensil D'Silva, has now signed a film with Yash Raj Films, reveal industry insiders.
According to the source, Emraan Hashmi has been roped in for YRF's next, to be directed by Parmeet Sethi, who had earlier made Badmaash Company with the production house.
Emraan is currently shooting for Vikram Bhatt's Raaz 3. And though the formalities of the YRF venture are still underway, Emraan is apparently quite excited about his role.
YRF spokesperson denied that Emraan was a part of the film and simply said, "Parmeet is still scripting the project."
'I don't want awards'
Emraan Hashmi, who has reportedly signed films with two of the biggest production houses of the Hindi film industry, Yash Raj Films and Dharma Productions, refused to reveal anything about his future projects with the big companies. He simply said, "When there's a formal announcement, I will be in a position to say something," and added, "I have always looked up to both the production houses. They have made some cult films."
And though films have always fascinated him, film awards haven't. Talking about his co-star Vidya Balan sweeping all the awards for The Dirty Picture, Emraan simply said that he is happy for her. "I don't want awards. I am not saying this like it's a case of sour grapes. It isn't. I have been to a couple of award functions and I soon realised that it doesn't give me the kick that it does to others," he added.
His no award formula has worked. Women swoon over his rough and tough look. He attributes it to his 'Lazy shaving schedule'. His films have also been musical successes. And that, Emraan attributes to his music directors admitting that he doesn't listen to the songs himself. "I like progressive trance. It's ironic actually, I don't like popular music and my music always becomes popular," he laughs.
While Emraan may want to dismiss his success formule, certain things will always remain with the actor. His 'serial kisser' tag for instance. "It will haunt me till the day I die," agrees the actor. The dark and negative characters that Emraan has been best known for are however, a matter of choice.
And Emraan tries his best to make his characters look real. For his role of a jounralist in the late Shamin Desai's Raftaar 24x7 that is now being completed by the filmmaker's widow Priyanka and has been renamed Rush, Emraan has been observing the media. "I found a journalist's life tough. I play an investigative crime journo in a news channel," he adds.
