Emraan Hashmi is one of the most successful actors in the industry. He started his career in 2003 with the film Footpath but came into limelight with 2004 release Murder.

Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai

In 2010, Emraan Hashmi starred in Milan Luthria’s Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai. The actor portrayed the role of a gangster who dreams to rule the underworld. Emraan was damn good in the film and shined in this multi-starrer.

Ek Thi Daayan

In 2013, Emraan starred in a supernatural thriller titled Ek Thi Daayan. The movie received positive reviews and also did quite well at the box office. Emraan’s performance was surely one of the highlights of the film.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani

While we have seen Emraan in many erotic-thrillers, the actor for the first time turned a romantic hero on the big screen for the film Hamari Adhuri Kahani. Though the film failed to make a mark at the box office, Emraan clearly gave one of the best performances of his career in the movie. His chemistry with Vidya Balan was also loved by moviegoers.
