A daayan is charismatic but she is dangerous: Emraan Hashmi

Just six months after his big success Raaz 3, Emraan Hashmi is back with Ek Thi Daayan. While this is not a typical horror film to come out of Bollywood, it is more in the range of a psychological thriller with scares. We bring you some excerpts from a candid chat with the hero Emraan Haashmi.

(Laughs) I have obviously done a lot of films with a lot of beautiful women. Now with Ek Thi Daayan, I am upping the stakes. From just one or two, I am now with three of them. What more can a man want? Of course I have a lot of women to handle here but then I guess I have become three times luckier too.

daayan

is finally emerging out of a story book. She is charismatic but then she is dangerous.

I had a film family (Bhatts) that could have comfortably launched me as a male lead. Still, I started off as one of the characters in Footpath and then did Murder, which was about a female protagonist.

I also did The Dirty Picture, which was female-centric. For me, what is of primary importance is that a film and a character should be pitched well. The story should draw me in. As for a title being male, female or whatever else centric, it doesn't even function in my conscience.

Now that you are bringing this up, this has come to my mind for the first time. Having said that, obviously there is something in there for me because of which I have given the film 100 days of my life.
