Emraan Hashmi says he is ready to do an item number, but it has to be different. “The conventional item numbers are very boring. I don’t like the way they are presented. I will do something different,” he said, adding jokingly that if Shanghai director Dibakar Banerjee casts him as an item boy, he will take it up. Shanghai saw him playing a light-hearted role for the first time and Hashmi says the film has changed people’s perception of him. “Shanghai de-constructed [the] perception that people had [of] me. A new Emraan Hashmi has been showcased. After this, whatever role I play should be as unpredictable. I want to surprise the audience,” he said on Tuesday.Known as Bollywood’s serial kisser, Hashmi does not want to be trapped in any particular role. “I want to be an actor who pitches his films to everyone. We know there is a divided audience. Some actors are safe and cater to one particular set of audience. But I really respect Dibakar for making a film like Shanghai. He took the risk of making something totally different. The praise that I have got for Jogi Parmar — I have hardly ever heard such praise in my career. After Shanghai, I would want to do more films like this.” Talking about people who have not liked the film, Hashmi said: “You can’t please everyone. You will have people who love your film and detractors as well. In this case, they haven’t understood the film...” Banerjee said his film has broken even. “Shanghai was never made to be the blockbuster of the year. We never thought even this would happen. We spent Rs120 million [Dh7.87 million] in the making and Rs80 million in the marketing. From Monday, we have been making profits. This was our aim and we have done it,” he said. from gulfnews.com
