Mahesh Bhatt and critics all praises for Emraan Hashmi in ‘Shanghai’

Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi made his debut in 2003 with Mahesh Bhatt’s ‘Footpath’, in which he played a gangster’s role. Later on, he was labelled as the ‘serial kisser’, thanks to his films like ‘Gangster’ and ‘Murder’, but no one ever considered him as the leading man material.

However, now Hashmi is not what he was before because he is one of the bankable stars of the Bollywood industry at this point in time and the industry seems to have caught on to the Hashmi factor.

Hashmi has recently finished shooting for Dibakar Banerjee’s upcoming film ‘Shanghai’ and it looks as if the actor has impressed many out there, including his uncle Mahesh Bhatt.

Tweeted director Mahesh Bhatt, “The rise and the rise of Emraan Hashmi. Emraan is brilliant in SHANGHAI. Even the highbrows have embraced his performance.”

Along with Bhatt, many acclaimed critics and trade analysts of the Hindi cinema have also commended the actor’s performance in the film, which is scheduled to hit the cinemas on this Friday.

Said an acclaimed critic and trade analyst,”It’s a new Emraan that you witness here in Shanghai [paunch, blackened/stained teeth], which is in sharp contrast to his on-screen romantic representation. Influenced by Dibakar’s thought process, Emraan takes the plunge and wholly submits to the director’s visualization. This is a defining moment in his career and I am sure, even Emraan must’ve rediscovered himself in this variety of film-making.”

Added another critic, “Emraan Hashmi steals the film as the gauche, stain-toothed pornographer with a selfless heart. It’s easily the film’s most winning performance, and Hashmi doesn’t once miss the mark.”

Well, all said and done, Emraan Hashmi, who will play the lead role in ‘Shanghai’, has certainly become a big name in Bollywood now and perhaps this is a reason why the biggies like Dibakar Banerjee, Karan Johar, Ekta Kapoor and Mahesh Bhatt are all praises for his acting.
