A thing Emraan can’t share!!!

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

One look at Emraan Hashmi’s filmography and you know that the young man loves to do films which aren’t too crowded for comfort.

With Vivek Agnihotri’s ‘Chocolate’ as an exception which had Anil Kapoor, Suneil Shetty, Arshad Warsi and Irrfan Khan for his company, Emraan has mainly done two/single hero projects.

While ‘Murder’ (Ashmit Patel), ‘Gangster’ (Shiney Ahuja), ‘Good Boy Bad Boy’ (Tusshar Kapoor) and ‘Aksar’ (Dino Morea) did have another male lead sharing screen space, Emraan still managed to tower above his contemporaries in most of the projects.

Now his upcoming ‘Jannat’ is a solo hero project, just as ‘Awarapan’ and ‘The Train’ were last year. Is it a conscious move?

“More than being termed as a conscious move, I would term it is a well thought move”, says Emraan after a brief pause, “For me the film should work for me and I should be able to work for the film. It has to be mutual.”

Please elaborate. “I don’t want to be a part of a multi starrer for the heck of it. I mean it shouldn’t be the way that ‘if Emraan Hashmi is in the film, it becomes bigger, so let’s add him on.’ There should be substance and a reason behind my inclusion”, adds Emraan Hashmi.

Is Yash Raj Films formula failing?

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Yash Raj FilmsPriyanka Khanna: The boom time for the Mumbai film industry is not translating into windfalls for top Bollywood production house Yash Raj Films (YRF), with its first offering of 2008, “Tashan”, failing to live up to the hype.

While in 2007, YRF’s tally of flops outweighed that of hits, their first release this year has failed to charm critics and the audience response to “Tashan” has not been too heartening.
