Emraan Hashmi plays a character based on underworld don Dawood Ibrahim in Milan Luthria’s Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai. In an interview to Screen he talks about playing characters with grey shades and living upto his serial kisser image. He said his character Shoaib works his way up through the streets. He lives in Dongri and is a crazy, wild child who cannot be controlled. His father and he are always at loggerheads because his father thinks he is not heading anywhere in life. He looks up to Sultan (Ajay Devgan) who is a smuggler. He wants to get into Sultan’s camp and he does so eventually.
He said he have seen so many gangster films, so he didn’t really require anything specific. Stories that you read everyday in the newspapers were the only inspiration and anyway we have grown up listening, hearing and watching so much about gangsters that it was like a dream-come-true to be able to play this role.
He speaks about ajay that Ajay is one of the easiest actors to work with and he has learnt so much from him. He is so giving as an actor and the intensity and the kind of performance he gives is effortless. He said that People seem to like him in rebellious, devious roles with some room for redemption. Anyway he doesn’t think that he fit into chocolate-boy kind of roles. He doesn’t like romantic comedies and he doesn’t understand that genre. As a kid, he always played with guns and now I get to play with them on screen. What better role could he have asked for?
