Emraan Hashmi, who has taken a sabbatical from his onscreen ‘serial kisser’ and ‘romantic’ roles believes in doing socially relevant films.
The actor-producer, who isn’t happy with the change of his film’s name from Cheat India to Why Cheat India, took to his social media handle and changed his name from Emraan Hashmi to Why Emraan Hashmi.
