Emraan Hashmi Latest News: Emraan Hashmi is in the news for his upcoming film 'Ground Zero'. Before the release of the film, the actor appeared on comedian Ranveer Illahbadia's podcast. In the podcast, Emraan Hashmi spoke openly about the 'serial kisser' tag.

Emraan Hashmi spoke about the serial kisser tag

Let us tell you that Emraan Hashmi said on Ranveer Allahabadia's podcast that, "There was a time when I used to get a little upset. I wanted people to take me a little more seriously. From 2003 to 2012, this image of mine became a label for me. It was used for marketing, things were added to films without any reason. The media also used the 'serial kisser' tag in front of my name. This happened because of what I did. I am not blaming anyone for this". The actor said that everyone used the 'serial kisser' tag for marketing, and kissing scenes were added to films even when they were not needed.

"I am trying to introduce something new"- Emraan Hashmi

Continuing his talk, Emraan Hashmi further revealed how he tried hard to get away from the image of a serial kisser. "The audience also didn't want to see him doing anything else," the actor said. "But when you cross that phase, you want to do something else. You want to be taken seriously as an actor. You try to do different films. But then, people would say, 'Well, this wasn't it'. I am offering something new. I am an actor. It's my job to play different characters. Why would you want to see the same thing again? Because of that, I used to get a little upset. But otherwise, I am cool with it. I don't have any particular problem with it."

'Ground Zero' will release on April 25

Emraan Hashmi will be seen in Karan Johar's web series Ground Zero after Showtime. Narendra Nath Dubey led the operation in which terrorist mastermind Ghazi Baba was killed.
