Emraan Hashmi Opens Up on Breaking Free from ‘Serial Kisser’ Image
Emraan Hashmi on His Serial Kisser Image: Emraan Hashmi is now constantly appearing in diverse roles. The actor explained how he broke his serial kisser image. Find out which films he credits for this...
Emraan Hashmi is in the news currently for his recently launched series, 'Taskari: The Smugglers' Web.' Directed by Neeraj Pandey, in this series, Emraan Hashmi plays a customs officer. At the same time, Emraan Hashmi is also talking about his reputation of being a serial kisser and lover boy, and how he is trying to come out of it.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Emraan Hashmi spoke about being typecast. He said that there's no single role; it's never one. It's always a journey. Films like "Shanghai" and "Tiger 3" played a significant role in changing people's perception of him. In a way, "Jannat" broke this image, as did "Once Upon a Time in Mumbai." So, it wasn't the result of a single film, but rather the result of several films.
Recalling the criticism he received early in his career, Emraan said he didn't take it as a mistake. "I wouldn't say the critics were wrong. They had their own opinions about films, but I knew I could do it. So I responded by saying, 'I can make a film like Shanghai.' So if you say I can only do one kind of film, then with a director like Dibakar Banerjee, I can do it. So, it was a matter of proving something, not just myself."
