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. The film revolves around the corruption involved in the education system and how it hampers the future of children. Talking about this film and many other aspects, Emraan Hashmi gets candid with mid-day.com. The film is all set to hit the marquee on January 18, 2019.
Have you ever cheated in school?
Yes, I did. I cheated in my Economics paper in S.Y.B.Com but this is something that I am not proud of. But, yes I got the opportunity and I utilized it. I hadn’t prepared much for the exam and the invigilator himself had allowed us to cheat. We had our centre in Bandra itself. The invigilator said that you’ll have 40 minutes more and can open the book and go ahead, and that’s how I secured 65 per cent.
If you had to associate this tagline ‘Nakal Me Hi Akal Hai’ with anything, what would it be?
