Emraan Hashmi made a career out of on-screen kisses. He was the OG serial kisser. Tell him that, and he grins. In all his earlier interviews, he played down the image, saying what he was doing was just part of the job. Now, a more mature version of the actor is seen on screen. We saw that in Selfiee, where he played a superfan of a superstar, played by Akshay Kumar. He was cast as a grey-shaded character and one could see he enjoyed every moment of it, as it gave him an opportunity to break away from being billed as a rakish romantic lead. With Tiger 3, where he plays an anti-hero, one could see the artiste in him savouring every minute of it. It allowed him to unleash his dark side and show the audience what they had been missing. Emraan has seen enough ups and downs to know that both success and failure are fleeting at best. What matters is how you bounce back from both and welcome what life throws at you with open arms. Excerpts from a candid chat with one of the most sorted actors...
