In a recent revelation, Emraan Hashmi, known for his roles in Bollywood, disclosed that he was the initial choice for the lead role in the highly successful romantic film “Aashiqui 2.” The Aashiqui franchise, renowned for its iconic romantic films, first gained prominence in 1990 with Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal.

Notably, Hashmi and Suri had collaborated on six previous films, including ‘Zeher,’ ‘Kalyug,’ ‘Awarapan,’ ‘Raaz: The Mystery Continues,’ ‘Crook,’ and ‘Murder 2,’ followed by ‘Hamari Adhuri Kahani’ in 2015.
Recently praised for his performance in Maneesh Sharma’s ‘Tiger 3’ alongside Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, Emraan Hashmi shared insights into his relationship with Salman in an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla.
