Emraan Hashmi collaborated with Kangana Ranaut in the 2006 movie helmed by Anurag Basu. This movie signified Kangana’s first appearance in Bollywood.
Emraan Hashmi is eagerly anticipating the premiere of his upcoming web series Showtime, which focuses on the topic of nepotism in the entertainment industry. In a recent interview with Dainik Bhaskar, Emraan openly discussed the topic of nepotism that was initially raised by actor Kangana Ranaut a couple of years back. Emraan expressed his surprise at Kangana’s statements.
During the interview, Emraan expressed his personal admiration for Kangana as an artist, stating in Hindi, “I like Kangana a lot personally, as an artist. Maybe she might have had some bad experiences in the film industry. I have worked with her on Gangster. In that film she had a more important lead role than me. That is why she got an exposure with that film. So, I don’t think that only the ones favoured with nepotism gets the chance. However, Kangana might have her own opinion, but putting the blame on the entire industry is wrong. There might be a few. Not all are drug addicts in the industry.”
Kangana and Emraan collaborated for the first time in Gangster, and later appeared in several films together such as Raaz: The Mystery Continues, Once Upon A Time In Mumbai, and Ungli.
In 2017, Kangana criticised Karan Johar on his chat show Koffee with Karan, referring to him as the “flag-bearer of nepotism.” Following her comment on Koffee with Karan, there has been extensive coverage of the incident in recent years, particularly following the passing of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
Meanwhile, Emraan recently portrayed an antagonistic character in Tiger 3. Showtime is his upcoming show, featuring a star-studded cast including Mouni Roy, Naseeruddin Shah, Mahima Makwana, Rajeev Khandelwal, and Shriya Saran. It is set to be released on Disney+ Hotstar on March 8.
