Emraan Hashmi on rejecting Aditya Roy Kapur's role in 'Aashiqui 2': 'Mohit Suri approached me and I was like...'

Emraan Hashmi and Mohit Suri have collaborated on films like Zeher, Kalyug, Awarapan, Murder 2, and Hamari Adhuri Kahani. They were supposed to work on Aashiqui 2 as well. The actor made this revelation in a recent statement and gave the reason why he said no to the 2013 blockbuster. As per Pinkvilla, Hashmi was quoted saying, “Mohit approached me first for Aashiqui 2 and I was like this would work more with actors who are fairly new, who don’t have a roster of past movies or an image with the audience and there would be a sense of discovering a fresh pair. I don’t ever have regrets with films I didn’t do. They were never meant for me to begin with.” Emraan on Tiger 3 The merciless mercenary is a wily character, whom Emraan describes as ‘cerebral, his mind is his greatest weapon and he also wields immense power over authorities across countries.’ Emraan also reveals the name of his character in Tiger 3! He says, “I had an amazing time creating Aatish – a man who is fuelled by rage and will go to any length to finish Tiger. I play a very distinctively different villain that is rare in Hindi cinema. He is cerebral, his mind is his greatest weapon and he also wields immense power over authorities across countries to bring his devious plans into motion.” Emraan adds, “He single-mindedly wants to destroy Tiger, his family and by doing that, he wants to take out the biggest super agent of India. He knows Tiger will always be the last man standing for India and he wants him removed at any cost.”
