Emraan Hashmi seems to have perfected the art of playing a ‘hero with a slightly mean streak’ on the silver screen with his portrayals in films like Aashiq Banaya Aapne , Murder , Gangster , Chocolate , Good Boy Bad Boy and Aksar .

His role of ”a basically good boy with an ambitious streak” in his latest film Jannat has done what Emraan’s last few films could not – set the cash registers jingling.

With ‘Jannat’, which has Emraan playing a middle class guy who takes to cricket betting to amass riches before love for a girl makes him turn a new leaf is, rocking the box office at home and abroad. The actor suddenly finds himself being catapulted into the big league.

The stupendous success of the film – trade sources say that ‘Jannat’ has taken an opening which is at par with that of this year’s biggest success Race and has also matched the records set by Welcome .

”Initially, I could not just believe the phenomenal response that the film seems to have generated,” said Emraan.
