I was hurt, I was angry: Emraan Hashmi
A victory works wonders. Particularly if your preceding few films don’t come off. And if it’s a solo hit, well, the joy knows no bounds.
Post JANNAT, Emraan Hashmi is grinning from ear to ear. JANNAT has come as a breather for Mukesh Bhatt, as well as for debutante director Kunal Deshmukh and debutante writer Vishesh Bhatt, whose careers depended on how JANNAT get along.
“I was hurt, I was annoyed after AWARAPAN,” Emraan confessed, “The movie hadn’t worked out people had written me off. I had to prove the critics off beam. The lull that followed just helped. I desired to return with a vengeance.”
And it has been a remarkable comeback for the capable actor. Three weeks back, the presence of Akshay, Saif and Kareena couldn’t make sure of a terrific start for TASHAN. Big B and SRK’s presence in BHOOTHNATH didn’t help the film open to full houses either. But the superb start of JANNAT did hold the traders by total surprise.
“I was surprised as well. See, what went in favor of JANNAT were assorted factors. The buzz was very tough. Plus, a promo with content or even a striking poster grabs your attention right away. The first jhalak counts and JANNAT promoted for the aforesaid reasons,” Emraan says to me.
What about his popularity with the young generation? “Everything falls into place if the film is excellent. And I always had the gut that JANNAT would hit it off in a big way,” he said modestly.
