EKTA KAPOOR AND EMRAAN HASHMI TO COLLABORATE IN ANOTHER FILM

Ekta Kapoor And Emraan Hashmi to Collaborate In Another Film

Get ready for some more ‘dirt’ ahead. Buoyed by the huge success of The Dirty Picture, producer Ekta Kapoor would soon be announcing another film with Emraan Hashmi. While all formalities have been taken care of, it’s a matter of sealing a few logistics before details around the film’s director and other cast members are shared.

“Yes, Ekta and Emraan are all set to collaborate again”, informs our well placed source, “Announcement around this would be made in January and the film would also mark a hat trick for the producer-actor team which has now enjoyed a double bill with The Dirty Picture and Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai.”

Though Emraan missed out on the sequel of Once Upon A Time…, guess Ekta had a lot more in the offering for Emraan who is fast turning out to be the production house’s favourite. Unlike The Dirty Picture, this new film in all likelihood would feature Emraan as a solo lead though.

“Emraan agreed to do The Dirty Picture despite it being a Vidya Balan film since he found his characterisation quite interesting. Also, he had never played a role like this before. However, for his next film with Ekta, he would most likely be seen as a solo lead. Both of them understand that audience did feel a little void when Emraan wasn’t present right through the narrative of The Dirty Picture. For their next film together, both Emraan as well as Ekta would want to compensate for that”, the source continues.

When contacted, Emraan confirmed that he would be doing another film with Ekta. He said, “Yes, we should be announcing a film in January. I have loved working with Ekta and after Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai and The Dirty Picture, we are hoping for many more blockbusters to come.”

Though he chose to keep mum on the composition of the film’s cast, a close friend of Emraan quipped, “He consciously stepped back a little in The Dirty Picture where Vidya was clearly the central protagonist. Everyone knows though how greedy he is as an actor when it comes to playing the central character. He has already done it once for Ekta; now for how long do you expect him to keep the lid on his greed and ambition when it comes to rising up the ladder?”
