Life is nothing less than a roller coaster ride - at times you are on a high and at times you are simply trudging through all by yourself. This holds true in every profession, but in show business your success and failure is out there for everyone to see. There was a time when Emraan Hashmi had everything going for him - he had the best songs, his films were raking in big money, and his fan base was huge. But then things began to change. The man who was known to deliver successes was struggling to find his centre. This was the time when he was attempting di fferent kinds of roles, something that he wasn't known for, in films like Shanghai, Baadshaho and Azhar. People close to him referred to it as his attempt to phase out his earlier image (serial kisser) that he had been carrying for many years. He was trying to do di fferent kinds of films which reflected the person that he has become and not what he was in the past. He will now be seen in a completely new avatar for Netflix’s new original show, Bard of Blood, which is based on the novel by Bilal Siddiqi and produced by Shah Rukh Khan.
What made you go in for a web show? Also are you a “Netflix and Chill” kind of person?
I love watching Netflix shows. And when this o er came my way, I was pretty excited because I was already well-versed with the book and the story. I think ‘Netflix and Chill’ has another connotation. That’s more like the films I used to do back in the day (laughs). But yes, I love watching shows on OTT platforms. It’s an exciting time for storytellers and actors alike.
