Headbhatting over Emraan

Actor Emraan Hashmi is in the centre of a drama involving his filmmakers — Mahesh Bhatt wants him for his film’s promotions, but Ekta Kapoor is not willing to let go of him

Actor Emraan Hashmi is in the thick of things right now, thanks to his extremely busy schedule. So much so, that filmmakers are having a sort of tug-of-war in trying to get him for their respective films. Most recent being filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt who’s upset about having to postpone the promotions of Raaz 3 as the actor was not available for it. Says a source, “Emraan is currently shooting for director Vishal Bhardwaj and producer Ekta Kapoor’s film Ek Thi Daayan. Since his dates have been booked by them, he’s suddenly left with no time to go and promote Raaz 3. The film’s release is just a month away, but no major promotions have taken place yet. The Bhatts feel that Vishal and Ekta should have let Emraan take some days off for the promotion of their film. But both Ekta and Vishal are not willing to do so as their film needs to be completed.” “Ek Thi Daayan is currently being shot at Kingdom Of Dreams in Gurgaon. Shooting there is quite an expensive affair. It is nothing personal from both Ekta and Vishal’s front. With the place already booked for shooting, they just can’t afford to postpone it anymore. Not shooting there would also incur huge losses for them. Besides, they should understand that a similar incident happened few months ago. During the promotions of The Dirty Picture, Ekta couldn’t get Emraan for all their promotional events as he had to shoot for Bhatt’s Jannat 2 then. Ekta understood at that time and didn’t make an issue out of it,” reveals a source from Ekta’s production house. After Hrs tried to contact Bhatt and Ekta for their version, but both remained unavailable for comment.
