Pakistani actor Javed Sheikh did not enjoy working alongside Emraan Hashmi on the sets of Jannat. Javed revealed that Emraan was extremely impolite to him on set during an appearance for a Ramadan Transmission with Omer Shahzad and Arsala, which was posted on YouTube by Ary Entertainment.
During the conversation, Javed talked about his time spent filming Jannat alongside Emraan and mentioned that he had no opportunity to meet the actor before the project.
He stated in Hindi, “Mahesh Bhatt was the producer and got a new director on board, Kunal, 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.”
The duo eventually met at Newlands Cricket Stadium in South Africa, and he remembered being surprised by Emraan’s aloof demeanor. “I tried to shake hands with him but noticed a very cold response from his side. 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.
Kunal Deshmukh directed crime drama Jannat starred Sonal Chauhan and Samir Kochhar. Emraan was last seen in the Disney+ Hotstar series Showtime. He will be next seen in Ground Zero.
