New Delhi. There is also a star in Bollywood who, despite belonging to a film family, created his own identity. For almost two decades, he continuously gave such films which are still considered ‘cult classic’. Be it romance, suspense or dark thriller, he surprised the audience by choosing different roles in every genre. Especially in the 2000s, his films created a huge craze among the young audience and he also got the title of ‘Thriller King’.

Emraan Hashmi’s career did not follow any fixed pattern. He always chose films with different and bold subjects. The mark he left in genres like dark romance, suspense and thriller changed the direction of Bollywood in the mid-2000s. Films like Jahar, Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Kalyug, Aksar and Gangster established him as a new kind of hero.
Emraan Hashmi has a deep connection with the film family. He is the cousin of Alia Bhatt, Pooja Bhatt and Rahul Bhatt. This relationship is connected through his maternal grandmother Purnima Das, who was the sister of Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt’s mother. That means Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt seem to be his maternal uncles. However, despite family connections, Imran made his own identity.

The big turning point of his career was the 2004 film Murder, which was directed by Anurag Basu. His character in this film made him a star overnight.
