The Human Hero.. Emraan Hashmi's Journey and a Series of Consecutive Films

Emraan Hashmi is an Indian actor, born on March 24, 1979. He was nominated for a Filmfare Award and has released musical films that were critically acclaimed and commercially successful. Imran Anwar Hashmi was born into a Muslim family, later he changed his name to Farhan Hashmi and then returned to his original name.

Emraan Hashmi's Personal Life It is worth mentioning that Emraan Hashmi graduated from Sydenham College in Mumbai, India. Actress Pooja Bhatt, director Mohit Suri, actress Smiley Suri Kalyug and Ramsiz Baloch Naseem Ismail are his cousins. Director, writer and producer Mahesh Bhatt and producer Mukesh Bhatt are his uncles. He is married and has a child who is suffering from cancer and is being treated in the UK. He is Hashmi's only son.

Hashmi's first appearance was in the film The Walk, which was a critical and commercial failure, but his music was appreciated. In 2004, he released two films, the first titled The Killing, which catapulted him to stardom, and the other titled Tumsa Nahin Dekha, which flopped.

While 2005 was the real beginning with Zaheer's blockbuster, 2006 was a disappointment as most of the films flopped except for Gangsters opposite Kangana Ranaut. Imran Khan's first release in 2007, Goodboy Badboy, and Train: Some Lines Should Never Cross flopped and Urban was critically panned, but had moderate success.

It was in 2008, where it was a critical and commercial success, and also came Raaz and the Mystery Continues, his only release in 2009, opposite Kangana Ranaut, to be Emraan Hashmi's biggest success.

Emraan Hashmi's upcoming films in 2009 are Tum Mile, Raftaar 24x7 and Once Upon a Time in Mumbai.

Apart from the music that made his career shine, he also has a lot of kissing scenes, although it is unusual, but this was the reason for the presence of kissing scenes in his other films, as he was nicknamed the serial kisser of Bollywood.

Earlier, Amrat Hashmi had expressed his desire to stop kissing to be known as a mature actor, and throughout his career, he has kissed heroines except in The Walk, Chocolate: Deep Dark Secrets, Kalyug, Urban, The Killer, Dil Hai Good Boy Bad Boy, Good Boy Bad Boy, and Raaz - The Mystery Continues.

While in July 2009, Hashmi alleged that a housing society in Mumbai's Pali Hill area refused to grant him permission to buy a flat because he was a Muslim. The housing society rejected the allegations and in turn accused Hashmi and his family of intimidating behaviour.

Hashmi's allegations have been condemned by other Muslim actors in Bollywood, notably Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan, while the Islamic Cultural Centre of India has accused Hashmi of inciting communal tensions in India.

On August 10, 2009, Hashmi retracted his accusations, saying the housing society had not discriminated against him, and calling the incident a misunderstanding. The following year, Hashmi appeared in Milan Luthria's historical action drama Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai with an ensemble cast including Ajay Devgn, Kangana Ranaut, Prachi Desai and Randeep Hooda. The film, which depicted the rise of organised crime in Mumbai, saw Hashmi play Shoaib Khan, a character inspired by real-life gangster Dawood Ibrahim. With domestic revenues of over Rs 780 million (US$ 9.0 million),

Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai emerged as a commercial success at the box office, ranking as the seventh highest-grossing Indian film of that year. The film received positive reviews from critics upon release, with particular praise for Hashmi's performance.

In the same vein, Emraan Hashmi began 2011 with the romantic comedy Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji directed by Madhur Bhandarkar alongside Devgn, Omi Vaidya, Shazhan Padamsee, Tisca Chopra and Shruti Haasan. The film and Hashmi's performance received mixed reviews from critics upon its release, and emerged as a commercial failure at the box office.

He then appeared in Suri's psychological thriller Murder 2, opposite Jacqueline Fernandez. The film and Hashmi's performance received mixed to positive reviews from critics. The Indian Express's Shubra Gupta wrote, "Hashmi does what he does best, stares at men, sleeps with ladies, and eventually, confronts the bad guy."

Running through the film with his usual clever lines that contain equal amounts of exaggeration and confusion, Murder 2 emerged as a commercial success at the box office, with a domestic collection of over Rs 476 crore (US$5.5 million). His last film appearance that year was Luthria's biographical musical drama The Dirty Picture, in which Vidya Balan co-starred as controversial Indian actress Silk Smitha, alongside Naseeruddin Shah and Tusshar Kapoor. He played the role of Ibrahim, the narrator, who declares himself the hero's greatest enemy.

While in 2012, Hashmi appeared in Deshmukh's crime thriller Jannat 2 alongside Hooda and Esha Gupta. It was initially titled Informer, but was later changed to the current title, making it a follow-up to the 2008 film Jannat. The film received mixed reviews from critics upon its release, but emerged as a commercial success at the box office.

In 2009, Hashmi appeared in Suri's supernatural horror film Raaz The Mystery Continues, alongside Ranaut and Adhyayan Soman. While Hashmi's portrayal of Rasam and the film received mixed to positive reviews, Nikhat Kazmi of The Times of India wrote: Hashmi is fast emerging as the Colin Farrell of Indian cinema: utterly volatile, eclectic and unpredictable.

Indian star Emraan Hashmi is called by his fans as the human hero because of his humanitarian stances towards his colleagues in the artistic community or people who ask him for help without knowing him, as well as the experience he went through after his only son was diagnosed with cancer, which played a fundamental role in his maturity and prompted him to publish his first book, which was about that experience, which he described as a test from God.

Emraan Hashmi has stressed that he considers the month of Ramadan the most important month of the year because it is like a vacation that he spends in the company of God. He said that he deliberately ends his artistic commitments before the advent of Ramadan and uses the month only for worship and contemplation, as well as to care for his extended family and neighbors and help the needy. He added: Ramadan for me is like a vacation that I spend in the company of God, for He is my God and my host in this month.
