Emraan
Hashmi
and
Amitabh
Bachchan
will
be
seen
sharing
screen
space
for
the
first
time
in
Rumy
Jafry's
upcoming
film
Chehre.
In
a
recent
interview
with
an
entertainment
portal,
Emraan
opened
up
on
his
admiration
for
his
co-star
and
recalled
meeting
him
as
a
kid.
The
Jannat
star
remembered
the
megastar
pulling
his
cheeks
when
the
latter
was
shooting
for
Naseeb
at
his
mother's
workplace.
Emraan
told
Bollywood
Hungama,
"I
was
actually
awestruck
and
I
had
told
him
that
too.
The
history
of
my
conversations
with
Mr
Bachchan,
in
my
household,
started
with
my
mother.
She
told
me
how
he
pulled
my
cheeks
when
I
was
five
years
old.
He
was
shooting
for
Naseeb
at
a
hotel
at
Bandstand.
My
mother
used
to
work
there
as
a
manager.
She
was
going
by,
with
me
in
her
arms
and
Mr
Bachchan
had
pulled
my
cheeks."
The
Mumbai
Saga
actor
told
the
news
portal
that
he
was
so
obsessed
with
Big
B's
films
that
he
wouldn't
eat
lunch
after
returning
back
from
school
until
he
got
to
see
a
re-run
of
Bachchan's
movies.
"I
was
so
obsessed
with
his
films.
I
even
told
him
that
I
have
watch
Sholay,
Mr
Natwarlal
about
50-100
times.
I
used
to
not
eat
lunch
after
coming
back
from
school
till
I
got
to
see
a
rerun
of
Mr
Bachchan's
films," Emraan
was
quoted
as
saying.
Earlier,
Emraan
had
expressed
his
happiness
over
Chehre
getting
a
theatrical
release
and
told
PTI,
"This
is
also
my
first
film
with
Mr
Amitabh
Bachchan
so
I
wanted
to
do
everything
right.
Our
producer,
Anand
Panditji
too
assured
us
of
a
theatrical
release
with
all
safety
measures
in
place
and
has
kept
his
promise.
We
all
fell
in
love
with
cinema
because
of
the
magic
that
it
creates
in
the
cinema
halls.
And
that
is
why,
films
that
deserve
the
big
screen
should
settle
for
nothing
less.
I
am
eager
to
see
people
come
back
to
the
theatres
with
the
thrilling
surprise
we
have
in
store
for
them
with
Chehre."
