In the magnificent world of Bollywood, where the descendants often play an important role, Emraan Hashmi stands as an ideal example of perseverance, reinforcement and undisputed screen appearance. While many people today know him for his fine performances and memorable songs, some feel a rollercaster journey that took him to the top.

His father, Syed Anwar Hashmi, was also a brief brush with cinema, which appeared in Baharon’s destination (1968). However, Imran’s path for stardom was not confirmed with immediate success.
Before facing the camera, he started his career behind it – as an assistant director on the horror hit secret. She made her acting debut in 2003 with the footpath, with Bipasha Basu co-concluded. Although the film did not perform well at the box office, Imran attracted the attention of the audience with his intense personality. But this was his second film, Murder (2004), directed by Anurag Basu, who instigated him for fame. Unlike Mallika Sherawat, Imran became an overnight sensation and soon earned the tag of Bollywood’s “serial kisser” – a label that was behind her for years.
Despite distributing a string of box office flops – 14 to be accurate – Imran remained unaffected. His performance in films like Gangster, Jannat, Murder 2The Dirty Picture, and Once Upon a Time in Mumbai proved his subtlety as a versatile actor, who was able to handle acute roles.
In 2023, he made a strong comeback as a counterpart in Tiger 3 with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif. The film was a big success, which became the worldwide for Rs 466.63 crore and the fourth highest grossing Hindi film of the year.
With the fee of Rs 6 crore per film and an estimated total assets of Rs 105 crore, Emraan Hashmi has actually strengthened her place in Bollywood. Imran’s journey is a will for the flexibility, change and sheer talent, from going to his steamy on-screen image to earn praise for its villain role in the mega-action franchise.
