It’s possible that Emraan Hashmi, who rose to fame after starring in films like Murder, Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Jannat, and Gangster, has been out of the public eye for some time. Fans of the actor, who have long loved his on-screen persona, can’t stop thinking back on him.

The Bhatt Production, which lacked variation and prevented the public from appreciating the actor’s versatility, mostly supported Emraan Hashmi’s films. He demonstrated his acting prowess in films and television shows such as Shanghai, Ghanchakkar, Bard of Blood, and a few more.

Tejas Deoskar directed the newly released film Ground Zero, which starred Emraan Hashmi. In an exclusive interview with Jagran English, the director disclosed that Emran is, in reality, a little-known actor in the business.

When asked whether Emraan Hashmi is an undervalued actor, Tejas Deoskar gave a good response. “Underrated in a positive sense. Yes, most likely because of his amazing performances in earlier films. He played a conventional hero in many of them, but he also starred in films like Shanghai and Bard of Blood, which demonstrated his acting abilities,” he remarked.

Tejas Deoskar emphasized Emraan Hashmi’s acting prowess. Because of his success, he used to get similar offers, but now that he’s doing so well, he’s open to trying new things. “There is no question in my mind that he has to choose subjects now, and I believe that they are coming his way because sometimes when you see success through a certain type, people try to and you know they tend to approach you with the same.” The filmmaker continued. In his prime, he’s also most likely just following the crowd. Thus, maybe this is the moment for him to try new things as well. He’s doing well and is also open to trials. He’s doing a fantastic job. He’s a talented actor. There isn’t any question about it.

Meanwhile, Sai Tamhankar and Zoya Hussain play important parts in the real-life event-based film Ground Zero. The plot centers on Emraan Hashmi’s character, BSF officer Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, who received the Kirti Chakra for his valiant leadership of the 2003 operation that killed terrorist Ghazi Baba.

On the same day, Tejas Deoskar’s Marathi film Devmanus captivated audiences with its compelling psychological suspense storyline. The film, which was created by Luv Films, is a remake of the Hindi film Vadh that integrates the cultural spirit of Maharashtra. Devmanus narrates the story of a devout priest who must choose between confessing or apologizing when his peaceful existence is upended by a moral shortcoming.
