Gym instructors protest against Emraan Hashmi; Emraan Hashmi’s convincing portrayal of a womanizing gym instructor in Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji has upset real people in the profession.

A group of gym instructors in Nagpur got together to show their protest against Emraan Hashmi. Showing their protest, they blackened the face of the actor on the movie’s posters at Smruti Cinema; they also tore down the posters and burned them along with an effigy of the actor.

In Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji, Emraan plays a gym instructor who keeps hitting on his female clients all the time, bedding a few in the process.

Afterall Madhuri Dixit was heard telling everyone after a special screening of 'Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji', that she loved Emraan's performance the most. "Madhur Bhandarkar's romantic comedy which releases this Friday stars Omi Vaidya, Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi in the lead roles.

After the screening, Madhuri was heard whispering that she loved Emraan's performance the most and that he suits the Casanova image the best in Bollywood.

We are sure Emraan's award has already come his way in the form of Madhuri's liking for him. Also, as far as charming the ladies is concerned, Emraan should probably give some tips to Ajay, just like he has done in the movie! What say Emraan?

Emraan Hashmi says, Award functions are like a circus

Emraan Hashmi says, Award functions are like a circus: Emraan Hashmi was nominated as best villain for his role in " Once Upon A Time In Mumbai" at two award ceremonies but the actor says such functions are like a "circus" and prefers audience acclaim any day.

"These award ceremonies really don't make a difference to me. I have got my acclaim and awards from the audience... I don't really see that (award functions) as something I ever really believed it. I generally don't approve of these nominations," Emraan told us.

"If you see any award ceremony, they are pleasing everyone. There are three categories for every actor... it's ridiculous... and three awards given to music. I really don't want to be part of the circus. The whole industry goes and claps for it but I don't want to be part of it," he said.

Set primarily in 1970s Mumbai, "Once Upon A Time in Mumbai" captures the changing face of the Mumbai underworld seen through the eyes of a police officer.

Directed by Milan Luthria, the crime thriller follows the rise of Sultan ( Ajay Devgan) and his eventual fall when his protege Shoaib (Emraan) challenges his supremacy and usurps power to rule the murky underbelly of the city.

While Emraan was nominated at both the Star Screen Awards and the Apsara Awards, he did not bag a prize for his performance. Emraan has won an award for his work in " Murder" at the 2005 Stardust Awards.

Emraan Hashmi's 'Murder 2' is an edgy thriller film!

Emraan Hashmi's 'Murder 2' is an edgy thriller film!: The serial-kisser of Bollywood, actor Emraan Hashmi has already started shooting for the sequel of one of his most sensual hits “Murder” (2004) and hints that this instalment would be a more “edgy thriller” in which he plays the role of a serial killer.”We have started shooting. Our main schedule will be in Goa. There is quite a bit of work left. I think we will be looking forward to release it this year,” Emraan told us

“We are taking it away from the space people are actually thinking it’s in. It taps the simple angle of lust and all that was there in the first part. But it doesn’t dwell primarily on the area of lust. It takes into more edgy thrill space,” he said.

“Thrill was there in ‘Murder’ but people associated only with the sensuality, probably that kind of boldness. This is bold in a very different way. All the presumptions what media and people have would be probably put to rest when they see the film. We never had films with serial killers. It deals with those different areas. That’s what makes it new and unique,” Emraan added.

Sultry Mallika Sherawat has been replaced by actress Jacqueline Fernandez as the female lead in “Murder 2″.

Emraan is next to flaunt his six-pack abs after actor Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Shahid Kapoor, but the actor is quite nonchalant about it.

“I don’t understand that six-pack band thing anyways. I did it because my director said that I need to look tough for a role. I am not obsessed with the pack thing,” he said.

'Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji' Madhur Bhandarkar's latest Film - First Look

'Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji' Madhur Bhandarkar's latest Film: Get inside the theatre, have a fun time, and come out refreshed".

These words aren't exactly something you'd hear from a film-maker who, in the past has attracted the audiences with his thought-provoking, topical, women-centric drama's that non-voyeuristically peep into punitive reality. But that's Madhur Bhandarkar for you. The man who rose to an unexpected prominence with his experimental yet firmly commercial films like Corporate, Traffic Signal, Page 3 and Fashion, is ready to catch you off-guard and make you chuckle with his first romantic comedy, Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji which he unveiled in Mumbai over the weekend.

The film -- which deals with three men who cope with modern women and contemporary liaisons resulting in a fun, roller-coaster ride of emotions -- stars Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Omi Vaidya, Shraddha Das and Shazahn Padamsee.

"This is the first time I am making a slice of life romantic comedy and I hope as people have loved my earlier films, they will definitely accept this movie too. The way DTBHJ is shaping up I am sure it will be a treat to watch," he says of his latest enterprise.

So what triggered such a departure from his previous works?

"Nothing in particular, I just wanted to make a feel-good funny film that will have people laughing as they come out of the theatres,'' he says.

"Even though I've created fiction, it is within the parameters of reality, as is the case with my films. You'll like it," he candidly pours his heart out adding, ''I've been fortunate to achieve critical as well as public acclaim and I hope I maintain that trend.''

Will Emraan Hashmi work in a XXX film?

Will Emraan Hashmi work in a XXX film?: After the unabashedly voyeuristic Love Sex Aur Dhoka earlier this year, Bollywood is now readying to make a film on Indian porn industry. No surprises, it’s called XXX and might star Emraan Hashmi.

Raising the bar further will be...who else!...but the Bhatts, known for picking up controversial and burning issues of the day in their films. We hear that Kunal Deshmush, who directed Jannat and Tum Mile for producer Mukesh Bhatt, is presently scripting the film on the inner workings of the Indian porn industry. It’s titled XXX.

Though Kunal is still scripting the film, Emraan is apparently excited to be part of the project. He has also confirmed to a tabloid about his presence in XXX. But director Kunal Deshmukh says he hasn’t approached Emraan because he hasn’t completed the script yet. On the other hand, Mukesh Bhatt denies Emraan’s presence in the film.

There seems to be lack of communication between the three. But seeing Emraan’s enthusiasm about working in XXX, we won’t be surprised if the dishy actor has his way and bags the project.
