Emraan Hashmi

Emraan Hashmi was reluctant to take up acting but Mahesh Bhatt insisted After Emraan Hashmi assisted Mahesh Bhatt during the film Raaz (2002), Bhatt Sahab recognized Emraan’s arrogant attitude and his dislike for the profession of being film director. Hence he decided to make him an actor. When Bhatt offered Emraan the idea of taking up acting as career, Emraan was reluctant as he disliked Bollywood and glamour. Secondly his Hindi was also not fluent hence he tried to ignore. But Bhatt insisted and on his insistence Emraan was provided training in acting and given a supporting role in Bhatt’s home production Footpath (2003). Emraan Hashmi became a star with his second film Murder After a modest success of Footpath, Mahesh Bhatt took the gamble and promoted Emraan from supporting actor to lead hero in his next erotic thriller Murder (2004) with hot sex siren Mallika Sherawat. The movie proved a gold mine at box office thanks to film director Anurag Basu’s edge of the seat direction, taut suspense, tight screenplay, excellent music and above all bold and hot seductive kissing scenes. After the success of Murder Emraan Hashmi did a series of romantic thriller like Zeher, Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Aksar, Gangster etc. The highlight of each film was ‘mandatory’ erotic lip kisses that labeled Emraan Hashmi as Serial Kisser! Emraan Hashmi rates his best Kiss with Jacqueline Fernandez in Murder 2 With his debut film Footpath (2003) to his last big hit –Azhar, Emraan Hashmi’s success has been attributed to his on- screen kiss. In fact filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, who introduced Emraan in film, realized the importance of Kiss in Emraan’s film when their film Awarapan failed as it had no kiss scene. After that Bhatt made it a point to have a Kiss scene in Emraan’s film because he felt the audience thronged cinema halls to watch his Kiss. Hence like Bhatt, other film producers too incorporated a Kiss scene ‘mandatory’ in very Emraan film taking into consideration people’s demand. Thus Emraan Hashmi wom the infamous tagline Serial Kisser and has record of kissing about 32 actresses in career more than a decade!! His famous kiss include in films like Murder, Zeher, Aksar, Aashiq Banaya Apne, Gangster, Murder 2, Azhar etc. During Karan Johar’s TV show Emraan rated his best Kiss scene with Jacqueline Fernandez in Murder 2 and his worst with Mallika Sherawat in Murder.
