nephew of Mahesh Bhatt and is a cousin to actress turned director Pooja
Bhatt.
Hashmi made his debut in 2003 with the film Footpath however, it did not do
well at the box office. He shot to fame with Murder (2004) which was his
first hit. His next few films such as Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Kalyug and
Gangster have done moderately well at the box office and the soundtracks in
these respective films have helped create a large fan base. Amusingly, all
the songs from his movies have become instant hits.
Emraan is also famous for his kissing scenes in all of his movies. He is
referred among the youngsters as serial-kisser (based on the fashionable
word serial-killer) because of the number of kisses he does in his movies as
this trend has started in the bollywood films from 4 years and was not
common before. Emraan also described his first on screen kiss during an
interview claiming that he was very nervous and almost opted out of the
scene before going ahead and shooting it with the female co-star.
