Pakistani actor Javed Sheikh, who has appeared in several Hindi films, including Dus, Apne, Om Shanti Om, Money Hai Toh Honey Hai, Namastey London, and Tamasha, recently recalled Emraan Hashmi’s rude behaviour toward him on the sets of the 2008 film Jannat, which left him irked. Calling Hashmi out, he shared that after they completed filming, he did not speak to Emraan at all.
In a video shared by Aaj Entertainment’s YouTube channel, Javed revealed that when he tried to shake hands with Emraan, the latter noticed but responded coldly.
“He shook hands dismissively and even turned his face away, which really irked me. I thought, ‘Big stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Salman Khan respect me so much, call me Javed Ji, and this young guy has this attitude. What does he think of himself?’ When he (Emraan) came, I did the rehearsal but didn’t bother to even look at him. For the days to follow, when we completed the filming, I did not talk to him at all,” he added.
Javed revealed that he did not got a chance to meet Emraan before Jannat’s shoot began. “Mahesh Bhatt was the producer and got a new director on board, Kunal (Deshmukh), to direct the project. He explained the entire plot and everything to me when I signed the project, but I had not had an opportunity to meet Emraan Hashmi until then,” he added.
Meanwhile, Emraan is yet to react to Javed’s shocking claims.
Released in 2008, Jannat was directed by Kunal Deshmukh and starred Sonal Chauhan in the lead. A sequel, Jannat 2, featuring Emraan, Randeep Hooda, and Esha Gupta, was released in 2012.
