Why Emraan Hashmi Said No To Saiyaara Director Mohit Suri's Aashiqui 2
Last Updated: Emraan Hashmi recently revealed that both Mohit Suri and Mahesh Bhatt felt he was the right fit for the male lead in Aashiqui 2. Mohit Suri's Saiyaara has set the cash registers ringing. The Hindi film has become one of the biggest hits of this year, with Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda 's dramatic love story touching the heart of the audience. Some fans are even drawing comparisons with Suri's previous hit, Aashiqui 2. Released in 2013, the movie catapulted Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor to overnight stardom, similar to how Ahaan and Aneet have gained popularity after Saiyaara. But do you know that Aditya Roy Kapur wasn't the first choice for the role? Who was the first choice for Aditya Roy Kapur's character in Aashiqui 2? Aditya Roy Kapur wasn't the first choice for Mohit Suri's romance musical Aashiqui 2, the spiritual sequel to 1990 Mahesh Bhatt's film Aashiqui. The lead role of Rahul Jaykar was initially offered to Emraan Hashmi. However, he rejected the film, after which the makers decided to go with Kapur. Why did Emraan Hashmi reject Aashiqui 2? In an earlier interview, Emraan Hashmi talked about turning down multiple films which later became blockbusters. Among them was Aashiqui 2. Explaining the real reason behind his move, the actor mentioned that he did not believe he was suitable for the project as it required new faces. The 46-year-old also revealed that both the movie's producer, Mahesh Bhatt, and director, Mohit Suri, believed he was the ideal candidate for the character. Emraan Hashmi had collaborated with Mohit Suri in multiple films previously – Zeher, Kalyug, Awarapan, and Murder 2. 'Aashiqui is a franchise that needs to be done with fresh faces. The franchise worked because the lead pair had no public perception, just like the original film (Rahul Roy, Anu Aggarwal). Aashiqui 2 will work with actors who don't have a certain public image. Thus, I rejected the film," he told Lallantop. Emraan Hashmi was then asked if he ever regretted his decision. To this, he immediately responded, 'I don't regret it. It made complete sense to me at that time. People may question it because, in retrospect, the film did well. But it did well because there were fresh faces. I don't think I would have been able to add value at that time. I had an image already." Watch the entire conversation here: Hashmi was last seen in the 2025 film Ground Zero as BSF Deputy Commandant Narendra Nath Dube. Next, he has two Telugu films titled OG and G2, as well as the Hindi movies: Awarapan 2, Gunmaaster G9 in the pipeline.

Meet actor who gave only 1 hit out of 13 movies in 5 years before quitting Bollywood, decided not to marry and turned to Vipasana
Some actors gain overnight popularity and become a sensation after just a couple of film releases. The actress we are talking about today was undoubtedly one of the most good-looking and s*xy stars during the 2000s and was almost every other boy's crush. One of her songs was so popular at the time that it can still give you goosebumps today. Well, we are talking about Tanushree Dutta, who quit the industry at the peak of her career. Tanushree Dutta made her debut with Aashiq Banaya Aapne in 2005. The film saw her opposite Emraan Hashmi, and she became an overnight sensation. Her gorgeous looks and perfect figure paved her way into everyone's hearts. Even Sonu Sood was a part of this romantic thriller, whose songs can still ring a bell in your heart. Although the film did not perform well at the box office, the songs were a hit, and Tanushree went on to be known as the Aashiq Banaya Aapne girl. However, this helped her establish herself as a glamor icon. After her debut, she appeared in the thriller film Chocolate, part of an ensemble cast, which was released the same year but did not perform well at the box office. In 2006, two films were released: Bhaagam Bhag, which starred Akshay Kumar and Govinda in pivotal roles. This went on to become her first hit film. Then came 36 China Town, which again did not perform well at the box office. This film starred Kareena Kapoor Khan and Shahid Kapoor. Both films were ensemble cast films. In 2007, four films were released: Risk, Good Boy Bad Boy, Dhol, and Speed. Unfortunately, none of them performed well. Coincidentally, all these films featured ensemble casts. Then, in 2008, she starred in only one film, Saas Bahu Aur Sensex, which was a low-key release. In 2010, four films were released, and it also marked the last year of her active work in the glamour industry. After 2010, Tanushree Dutta took a break from acting. The actress went through a period of severe depression and trauma. She cited disillusionment with the industry as the main reason for leaving her acting career at its peak. n order to heal from the depression, she moved to the US, where she studied spirituality, practised Vipassana meditation, and explored healing. She later revealed that these practices helped her regain balance and purpose. The actress has decided to remain single and has no plans to settle down. Additionally, she is preparing to make a comeback in Bollywood soon. Although there are no announcements yet, we bet fans would be excited to see her.

Why Emraan Hashmi Rejected Aditya Roy Kapur's Character In Aashiqui 2
New Delhi: Mohit Suri's Aashiqui 2 made Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor overnight sensations. The craze around the lead pair of the movie was unprecedented, and it was a huge boost to propel their careers forward. However, Mohit Suri's first choice for Aditya Roy Kapur's character, Rahul Jaykar, was his first hero, Emraan Hashmi. The Jannat 2 actor had revealed the reason behind rejecting the offer in an earlier interview. What's Happening Amid the humongous success of Mohit Suri's Saiyaara, led by debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, people have been comparing it to his blockbuster Aashiqui 2, featuring Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead. In an interview with Lallantop, Emran Hashmi got candid about the films he had rejected, which went on to become blockbusters. Among them was Aashiqui 2, where both Mahesh Bhatt and Mohit Suri believed he was the perfect fit. Mahesh Bhatt was one of the producers. Explaining the reason behind the same, Emraan Hashmi had said, " Aashiqui is a franchise that needs to be done with fresh faces. The franchise worked because the lead pair had no public perception, just like the original film (Rahul Roy, Anu Aggarwal). Aashiqui 2 will work with the actors who don't have a certain public image. Thus, I rejected the film." Speaking of regretting rejecting the film, Emraan Hashmi said, "I don't regret it. It made complete sense to me at that time. People may question it because, in retrospect, the film did well. But it did well because there were fresh faces. I don't think I would have been able to add value at that time. I had an image already." Emraan Hashmi Films With Mohit Suri Emraan Hashmi and Mohit Suri have collaborated previously in Zeher (2005), Kalyug (2005), Awarapan (2007), and Murder 2 (2011). Saiyaara Box-Office Collection Mohit Suri's Saiyaara has maintained its hold at the box office, paving the way for it to become one of the highest-grossing films of 2025. The Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda film has crossed the Rs 100 crore benchmark within four days of its release. After scripting history as one of the top 5 highest opening weekends of this year, Saiyaara became the seventh highest-grossing film of 2025. About Saiyaara Produced by Yash Raj Films, the film deals with love, loss, and heartbreak in a poignant way. The Mohit Suri film stars debutant Ahaan Panday as Krish Kapoor, a struggling musician, alongside Aneet Padda as Vaani Batra, a young aspiring writer diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. In A Nutshell There have been several comparisons between Mohit Suri's recent blockbuster Saiyaara and his previous hit Aashiqui 2. Both films revolve around themes of love and loss. While Saiyaara is led by debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, Aashiqui 2 made Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapur overnight stars despite having done a few films. In an older interview, Emraan Hashmi spoke about being approached for Aashiqui 2 first. He, however, spoke about how he did not believe he was the right fit for the movie as it needed new faces.
