    Emraan Hashmi made his Bollywood debut with the 2002 film Raaz. The actor has been in the film industry for almost two decades now and has seen many ups and downs. From playing a lover to a goon, the actor has proven time and again that versatility comes naturally to him. His dedication towards every character he takes up has ensured that his fans are never disappointed.
    Now, he is back in theatres with Mumbai Saga where he is seen playing a tough cop who is up against a gangster played by John Abraham. Emraan was last seen in a grey role in Milan Luthria’s Once Upon in Mumbai, so it will be interesting to see him in a similar role in the movie.
    Here’s the trailer of the movie:

    MensXp got a chance to talk to Emraan Hashmi who’s next, Mumbai Saga has released this Friday. We talked about his character in the movie and if he feels he has a strong footing in Bollywood now.
    Having seen you from making your debut in Raaz to doing movies like Shanghai, The Dirty Picture, and now Mumbai Saga, I must say you have proven to be quite versatile. Is that a conscious decision?
    I don’t think it happens alone because it’s also connected to who you are working with. I have been fortunate enough to work with some really fantastic teams throughout my career. I have fortunately been a part of a few great movies and I believe it’s the hard work of everyone involved with the project, the writers, the directors, and the entire support team. It’s all that builds you up. I feel lucky that I started my career with films like Murder which was breaking stereotypes in 2003. It was a sort of blasphemy back then to be a part of such a bold movie but it got accepted and it established me. I again have to add that I feel fortunate that the directors and writers thought of me and I was offered roles in movies like Jannat and The Dirty Picture. With Mumbai Saga, Sanjay Gupta thought I could do justice to this uber-cool cop genre and he was one of the dream directors I had on my wish list to work with.
    It’s not the first time that we are seeing a story set against the backdrop of Mumbai being ruled by gangsters. What, according to you, sets Mumbai Saga apart?
    I think at the core of the film, it’s a quintessential gangster movie that will satiate the audience. You are right that there have been many gangster flicks in the past. I wouldn’t say it’s saturated but we haven't seen a film in this genre in a long time now. I have been a part of Once Upon A Time In Mumbai, Gangster. I steered clear of the scripts that came to me after Once Upon A Time In Mumbai because they were doing pretty much the same thing but Sanjay Gupta has given Mumbai Saga a different colour and texture. It’s about how the city was changing in the 80s and 90s.

    After seeing the trailer, I could sense the sass in your character and it doesn’t fit into the bracket of quintessential cops of Bollywood movies either. What are your thoughts about this?
    I have a habit of doing that to my characters. Also, half of the job is done when the writers come up with such a character - Vijay Savarkar is no less than a gangster himself. When my family saw the movie, they were confused if Savarkar was a good guy or bad, but there lies a dichotomy in the character. From the outside, it feels like he is doing something which is unethical but he is a bit of a goon too in the movie. He is not here for any rewards or awards. He is bloodthirsty and his only goal is to get hold of Amartya Rao. Of course, I wanted to play a cop and it was interesting to play someone on this side of the law as I have always played the role of a thug or a gangster.

    As you just mentioned that Savarkar isn’t interested in awards or rewards and his passion was that one thing that kept him motivated. I remember reading one of your interviews wherein you mentioned that you never approach a role just on the basis of the money being offered to you as it has more to do with the script?
    I can think of a lot of things to do with Rs 10 crores (laughs). Obviously, I do films for the creative aspect but I won’t do a film with no money. If you ask any actor to do a movie for zero money, you will surely get a surprising reaction from all of us. There’s a monetary aspect to it. In terms of passion and drive to excel in your profession, it’s where I relate to the character but not the monetary aspect (giggles).

    Emraan, you had mentioned in one of your interviews in 2018 that it wasn’t easy to swim against the tide of Bollywood. Now, do you think that you have a strong footing in the industry?
    Obviously, I have had a firm footing for a long time now but it’s a kind of industry where you can’t take things for granted. Every year, you have so many youngsters coming into the game that you have to step up. For me, I am very passionate about the process of filmmaking and if you have that, you will find your footing in Bollywood but every day is like a struggle. You have to constantly take the punches and yet keep moving forward. Even if you have found a strong footing in Bollywood, you can lose grip very soon if you don’t put in your hard work. I believe it’s not failure that can destroy people in Bollywood but it’s instead the success. It’s the passion that keeps you motivated.

    Before we ended the conversation, I asked Emraan if he was having jitters as a theatre release can be risky especially because people aren't completely sure about watching movies on the big screen. He calmly responded saying that it had to begin eventually and felt that it was a bold move by the makers to put their product out there for people to watch it on the big screen when they could have easily opted for an OTT release.

    We all know that celebrities have been trolled many times for not having enough knowledge about many political topics. While we can’t expect the celebrities to know it all, but their political understanding is debatable.

    Many Bollywood movie stars have made dumb political statements and people on the internet have trolled them in the nastiest and ruthless ways to school them.
    Here is a list of five Bollywood celebrities who were trolled for their political acumen-
    Alia Bhatt 
    Alia Bhatt was branded the dumbest actress in Bollywood at a certain point and this started with her appearance in Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee with Karan.

    In the rapid-fire round, she along with her SOTY co-stars were asked, "Who is the President of India?"
    To which she blurted the name of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan. However, at that time President of India was Pranab Mukherjee.
     Sunny Deol View this post on Instagram
    Sunny Deol may have made us feel that he is a patriot when it comes to his films. However, he completely ignored the questions about national security while claiming to be in the business of politics.

    He said in an interview during an election rally in 2020, "I don't know much about issues like Balakot (airstrike) or India's relations with Pakistan.” However, the BJP candidate won the Gurdaspur seat but was trolled for his answer. 
    Hema Malini  View this post on Instagram
    Hema Malini was once asked about the work that she has done in her constituency and she said that she can’t recollect it.

    "So many things I've done which I just don't recognize right now, I don't remember much," she added in the 2019 general elections. 
    Sonam Kapoor View this post on Instagram
    Sonam Kapoor has been trolled a lot in her Bollywood career as she makes statements that are extremely controversial.

    Once, talking about the situation in Kashmir following the abrogation of the contentious Article 370, Kapoor had said, "For me now it's better to keep quiet and let this pass because even this too shall pass." 
    Bipasha Basu  View this post on Instagram
    Bipasha Basu had participated in the Olympic Torch Relay in Delhi and was asked, ‘Who started the Olympics games?’ by a media person to which she responded saying, “I think Adolf Hitler started it.”
