Actresses in Ek Thi Daayan are better than me: Emraan Hashmi

Actor Emraan Hashmi, who worked with Huma Qureshi, Konkona Sen Sharma and Kalki Koechlin - in supernatural thriller Ek Thi Daayan, says all the three actresses are better than him in the movie in terms of performance.

Ek Thi Daayan, a Vishal Bhardwaj and Ekta Kapoor's co-production is the story about a magician and a witch. Emraan plays the magician.

"I will be very happy if all the three women get their due in the film. They are better than me. I will be more than happy," the 34 year-old said here on Friday at an event.

On being asked if he feels he is competing with the three actresses in the film, and if he fears being overshadowed by them, Emraan said, "You never compete with the people in your crew, you have your own team."

"Competition is only with those people, whose film is releasing alongside on Friday and never with one's own team," added the actor, who has been a part of films like Jannat 2, Murder 2, The Dirty Picture and Raaz 3.

Directed by Kannan Iyer, Ek Thi Daayan released on Friday. The film has been lapped up by the audience and Emraan is happy about it.

"There have been many screenings (of Ek Thi Daayan) since the last two days. And as an actor, we lose the objectivity a little as our love is attached with the film. But when we get the same response from others, it's exciting," Emraan said.

"So we are very excited. People are saying that this (Ek Thi Daayan) is the best horror film of our country. So, I am really excited to see their reaction towards the weekend," he added.
