Emraan Hashmi turns over new leaf, says no more Raaz or Murder movies for him

Emraan Hashmi turns over new leaf, says no more Raaz or Murder movies for him

I want to do films that reflect my thinking, says the Bollywood actor
30 Aug, 2017

His name may be synonymous with the racy Murder and Raaz franchises, but Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi says that he is eager to start a new chapter in his career.

"There was a phase when I was doing whatever was being offered to me without doing any analysis," he admitted while speaking at a promotional event for his upcoming film Baadshaho.

"At that time, I didn't want to sit at home and [wanted to] keep on working. But at this moment, I am very focused on good stories, and don't want to do a film just for the heck of it."

So, does this mean that he's severing ties with the Raaz and Murder movies? Sounds like it.

"I am not the same person I was five or six years back. So, when people ask me if I will do Raaz or Murder, I don't think I will get into that. I would like to get into films that reflect my thinking," he added.

Hashmi will next be seen in Ajay Devgn's Baadshaho, which he says is based on a very different script. Directed by Milan Luthria, it is the story of six people who try to alter their fates by plotting a heist in the midst of the Emergency period in India.

Director Luthria feels that the film gives Hashmi the most entertaining role of his career:

"Emraan is a mix of instinct and deep thinking. He doesn't show it to others, but I know that he puts in a lot of effort to prepare for the role. I can say with confidence that character in the film will the most entertaining in his career," said the director.

Baadshaho will release on September 1.
