Emraan Hashmi, who
has done films like
“Murder”, “Jannat”, “The Dirty Picture” and “Shanghai”, says success in both commercial and off-beat cinema is important for an actor.
“Both commercial and serious films are important to me and, I think, as an actor I need both. After you get commercial success, you want to do a film like ‘Shanghai’. I knew it will not be able to do so much business like ‘Murder 2’ or ‘The Dirty Picture’. But it was an important film for me,” Emraan told IANS in a group interview.
“It was also a surprise element for viewers because they had never seen me in a character like that,” he added.
Emraan’s recent “Raaz 3” has not been received well by the critics. Also starring Bipasha Basu and Esha Gupta, the film is a sequel to 2009 film “Raaz – The Mystery Continues”, which itself was a sequel to 2002 “Raaz”.
Emraan will be seen doing comedy with actress Vidya Balan in “Ghanchakkar”. (IANS)
