Popular Pakistani actor Javed Shaikh has made a name for himself in Bollywood after he appeared several popular Indian movies. In a recent interview, he recalled his experience of working in the hit 2008 movie ‘Jannat’ and revealed the lead actor Emraan Hashmi had a cold response upon meeting him.
While speaking to Aaj Entertainment’s YouTube channel for a Ramadan Transmission with Omer Shahzad and Arsala, Javed shared, “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.”
Talking about his experience of working with Emraan, he revealed, “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.”
Javed has appeared in several popular Indian movies including Dus, Jaan-E-Mann, Apne, Namastey London, Om Shanti Om, Yuvraaj, Tamasha, Happy Bhaag Jayegi and more.
