Emraan Hashmi: No Flying Egos While Doing A Solo Movie!
The Why Cheat India star Emraan Hashmi opened up by saying that he prefers to star in solo hero movies as there are no flying egos and that makes the work much easier to complete.
Emraan
Hashmi
has
preferred
to
star
in
solo
lead
films
since
the
beginning
of
his
career
and
the
actor
says
the
decision
came
from
the
"greed" of
being
able
to
showcase
the
complete
arc
of
his
characters.
The
39-year-old
actor,
who
made
his
debut
in
2003
with
the
multi-starrer
Footpath
and
went
on
to
deliver
solo
hits
like
Murder,
Jannat,
Awarapan,
Raaz
2
among
others,
said
it
is
easier
to
make
a
solo
film
as
there
are
no
"flying
egos"
on
the
sets.
I'm
Greedy
&
Selfish,
I
Want
All
The
Screen
Time
For
Myself!
"I'm
greedy
and
selfish.
I
get
more
time
in
a
solo
film
to
play
an
entire
arc.
Not
that
I
haven't
done
ensemble
films
but
only
a
few.
But
what
happens
(in
ensembles)
is
that
the
screen
time
gets
divided.
You
don't
have
much
time
to
play
that
whole
character
arc.
So
it
comes
out
of
selfishness," Emraan
told
PTI.
Solo
Films
Are
Easy
To
Make
As
There
Will
Be
No
Egos
Flying!
"These
times
are
the
toughest
to
make
an
ensemble
films...
It's
more
to
do
with
ego
management
of
actors
on
board.
Four
stars
or
five
stars
and
everyone
has
to
be
given
their
due.
So
it
becomes
tough
for
the
producer.
Solo
films
are
easy
to
make
because
there
are
no
flying
egos,"
he
added.
I
Don't
Choose
Scripts,
Scripts
Choose
Me
Instead!
Following
his
initial
success,
Emraan
went
on
to
star
in
similar
projects
and
the
actor
said
he
picked
up
whatever
was
being
offered
without
taking
the
scripts
in
consideration.
"Early
on
I
was
doing
films
which
were
just
coming
to
me.
Scripts
were
choosing
me,
rather
than
me
choosing
the
scripts.
There
was
a
certain
kind
of
cinema
that
was
doing
well
and
I
was
kind
of
just
recreating
that.
It
was
slightly
repetitive
for
me
but
afterwards,
I
really
got
passionate
about
acting."
Bollywood
Is
Coming
Out
Of
The
Box
&
Experimenting!
The
actor
said
things
have
since
changed
drastically
in
terms
of
content
in
the
Hindi
film
industry.
"There
was
a
time
in
our
industry
when
new
subjects
were
not
explored
as
much.
You
have
just
play
the
star.
You
have
to
confine
yourself
to
a
box
and
the
rules
of
that
box.
Not
much
out
of
the
box
stuff
was
being
done.
Slowly
we
started
graduating
towards
out
of
the
box
and
risk
taking
cinema,"
Emraan
said.
I'll
Try
My
Hands
In
Variety
Of
Roles!
The
actor
believes
films
such
as
Awarapan,
Jannat,
Dirty
Picture
and
Once
Upon
a
Time
in
Mumbai
gave
a
great
push
to
his
career.
"They
were
all
different
kinds
of
films
that
did
well.
Then
I
came
into
my
own
and
said
to
myself
'Now
I
am
going
to
really
pay
attention
to
myself
and
try
my
hand
at
different
variety
of
roles',"
he
added.
The
actor's
last
release
was
Why
Cheat
India.
The
concept
of
the
film
and
Emraan's
performance
have
been
well
received
by
the
audience.
