Emraan Hashmi breaks silence on Pakistani actor Javed Sheikh’s claims that he was rude and arrogant on the sets of Jannat: ‘It’s bizzare’ | Hindi Movie News

A while ago, Pakistani actor Javed Sheikh who was Emraan Hashmi‘s co-star in ‘Jannat’, had said in an interview that he was very rude on the set and did not speak to him. Javed had said in an interview, “I tried to shake hands with him but noticed a very cold response from his side. He shook hands dismissively and turned his face away, which really irked me. I thought to myself, ‘Big stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Salman Khan respect me so much, and this young guy has this attitude. What does he think of himself?”
Now Emraan who is celebrating his birthday today, on March 24, has finally responded to Javed’s claims. He said during a chat with Screen, “It’s bizarre!” He further added, “I was 20-something then, and he is not my age, so we were never friends. I didn’t hang out with him, but I don’t remember anything like what he is saying happening.”
Emraan further added that there could be some miscommunication. He said, “I don’t know what Javed sahab took back with him, but it is definitely something he has held on to for 16-17 years. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a giant comedy of errors that has snowballed into something I know nothing about.”
On work front, Emraan will be seen next in ‘Ground Zero’. It has been recently reported that the trailer of the film will be out with ‘Sikandar’ and the film will release on April 25. Talking about his film, Emraan said in the same interview, “I was blown away by the script. It’s a chapter from the history of our national security and encapsulates the adage, truth is stranger than fiction. My first reaction was, ‘Did this really happen and if so, how is it that not too many people know about it?’”
The movie is inspired by the Border Security Force’s best operation in 50 years.
