I really like Emraan Hashmi, he’s most underrated: Salman Khan

Emraan Hashmi, who is riding high on the success of “Raaz 3”, is the most underrated actor of the present generation, says Salman Khan.

Emraan’s box office success ratio was recently compared to Salman’s, as he has earned a thumbs up with most of his recent films, including “Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai”, “Murder 2”, “The Dirty Picture”, “Jannat 2”, “Shanghai” and most recently, “Raaz 3”.

“Emraan Hashmi is the most underrated actor and now he should get his due. He has given hit after hit. He is damn good as an actor. I really like him,” Salman said during the music launch of “Ishkq In Paris”.

Salman, who launched the film’s music, was at his wittiest and bullied everyone on stage, including actress-producer Preity Zinta, actor Rhehan Malliek and director Prem Raj.

Salman shot a special song titled “Kudiye di kurti” for the film with Preity, and the actress says she was stunned to see his professionalism.

“I have worked with Salman Khan in tons of films, but when he came on sets, he asked the choreographer to show the steps. Then he said ‘Let’s go for a take’, and he did it perfectly on the first take itself,” she said.

“He is super professional. I thought we will take four to five takes, but we finished in just two takes,” added Preity, who has turned producer with the movie.

“Ishkq In Paris”, releasing November 2, is a romantic comedy.

  • True.. Emraan deserves great films and more attention.. he’s a talented actor, but I am happy for him that lately all his films worked at the box office.

  • @Salman fans, media reported that Salman drunk alcohol & ran down his car on poor people who were sleeping many years ago. Is that true? Some say that it was his driver who was driving.

  • mukesh kumar fav scence any guess? It is frm movie kites btw hritik&barbara moorie’sex scene’ i understand Mr.mukesh kumar disappointed tht there r no sex scenes in salman mvies

  • @mukesh kumar Your royal highness and with great respect, if you dont like south indian remake masala movies then please keep your mouth shut but dont demean salman,his movies &his fans by talking all the shit here. The so called illiterate salman fans you mentioned are not as educated,as intelligent,as elite& as genius as you and they watch movies only for entertainment(such that they get relieved of their pains,sufferings &sorrows from their hardwork and from hard life for atleast 3 hours) and south indian movies do that. Illiterate middle class people have different movie taste and movie choice compared to a great genius like you. You may appreciate and watch a ‘shemale orgy’ porn movie(very innovative,great script & oscar winning performances by the cast), as you are such a great “CONNOISSEUR OF MOVIES” but majority of indians dont. salman makes movies for the so called illiterate middle class&rural people(more than 70% of india’s population) and not for highly educated,intelligent,elite & genius people like you. And one more thing, the biggest irony about salman is that his earlier movies which had great scripts and his finest performances did not do that well at box office but now a days an average script with salman’s decent performance is a guaranteed blockbuster. So now a days, in india, 3 types of movies are being made
    1. Good movies
    2.bad movies and then
    3. Salman khan’s movies.
    You said you like hrithik and aamir, great, i say they are the most talented bollywood actors & performers of our era along with big b& ajay d and definitely much better than salman,akki and others but dont forget the reality that salman’s star power, charisma, crowd pulling capacity and the hysteria he creates are unmatchable by any of his contemporaries. The bottom line is- if you dont like salman,his movies&his fans, kindly keep your mouth shut but dont demean a bollywood iconic megastar and indian audiences in particular, just to prove that you are a ‘freakish educated fool’. If you want to give any advice better give it to your own brain and all the best.

  • Dear Salman fans, pls first check the IMDB rating of your favourite actor’s best films,Maine Pyar Kiya,HAHK,HDDCS etc. The IMDB rating of John Abraham starrer ‘Water’ is better than all of them.

  • @shahid. In your opinion salman may be an overrated actor, but for more than 70% of india’s population he is the biggest superstar in india with most number of fans along with rajni kanth. Cant deny this fact and reality.

  • Well said NVS… Fantastic reply to Mukesh. You said what xactly i want 2 say. @Mukesh how pathetic ur comments are.?? R u thinking the whole Bollywood is making movies to please u!! Who told u Movies should be only realistic or sensible. If u like only those movies that is ur problem. Who are you to decide movies should be only like this. Have u done any phd in film making or what? Cinema is an entertainment medium. Ultimately the audience want entertainment. If a film is realistic and sensible it is good. But we should not say all movies should be like that. And finally, u r saying Salman fans don’t speak good english. Ok forget about salman khan, One thing i dn’t understand is what is wrong in it. If a person dn’t know english is it a crime? It is not our mother tongue, so how can all can speak it. English is just an another language, it doesn’t shows the knowledge of a person. Even a wachman in US can speak english better than u. Then can u say he is greater than u??? I know Hindi, English(not as much of u know it),Telugu and Tamil. Can u speak telugu r Tamil??/ then what is the fault of a person if he don’t speak good english. I know iam not an expert in english as u r. But i never made such low standard comments as you made.

  • @NVS and a movie lover

    Even entertainment has some quality. Fine, food is a necessity unlike entertainment. But, will you like it if there is some cockroach in it whist you are eating. This is what is quality, which applies to entertainment too. Word of mouth or superhits etc. don’t guarantee it. So before people talk about superhits, they should learn to appreciate quality. I am not wasting my time writing this message for nothing. Almost every foreign critic praised Kites, Guzaarish and Ra.one, not as a movie but for it’s sheer boldness and innovation, not for shirt removing(which you call entertainment) or copying South Indian films.

  • John abraham’s ‘water’ is the best movie ever made in last 30000 years, john is the greatest legendary actor ever and i watched ‘water’ movie 10000000 times.but more importantly “main ek pagal aadmi nahi hu aur main daily mental hospital mei nahi rehta” hahaha…hehahaheuuaheheha…hhhahahehhhuh

  • @ mukesh kumar – u seem to think that u r a high intellectual.. salman khan is the biggest superstar of bollywood.. learn to live with it.. and if u cant go cry somewhere else.. salman khan’s fan following cuts across the classes as well as the masses.. the whole nation craves from him be it any gender, age group.. and coming to ur point of english u urself need vast improvement upon ur english.. always remember when u point a finger towards anybody, rest of ur fingers point towards u.. every genres of films should be made.. its up to the rest on which genre of films they wanna work.. who the hell r u to decide.. so my suggestion to u is to get over the jealousy.. if the audiences love him who the hell the are u to pull him down.. and lastly u live in india right??? who the hell r u to call them illiterate n uneducated.. this shows ur sick mentality and lack of intellect.. think before u speak u idiot.. so just keep ur mouth shut and go to hell..

  • joke of the century by mukesh kumar.. kites n ra.one were quality cinema :D :D :D i must tell u, u r quite funny :D :D :D have u lost ur head!!!

  • what was innovative about kites n ra.one mr. mukesh kumar.. kites had no story.. casting a foreigner as the female lead was innovation according to u??? or making a D grade superhero film with poor VFX copying all the hollywood superhero flicks with akon singing a masala song innovation to u???

  • @ mukesh kumar – even the best actor of india mr. aamir khan loves salman’s movies n his performances.. so is aamir khan illiterate n uneducated according to u??? or do u have more knowledge about cinema more than aamir khan??? and what about the scenes in 3 idiots where the hostel boys were getting stamps on their bums n words like balatkaar and stunn.. is this not cheap entertainment according to u??? as for me i enjoyed these scenes immensely and also the scenes of salman’s movie which according to u were cheap entertainment.. my point is how come only salman’s movie has cheap entertainment according to u??? the answer is simple u r jealous of salman’s legendary superstardom.. at least salman’s movie does not have any double meaning dialogues n sleazy sex scenes like emraan hashmi’s movie which according to u is watched by educated n literate audiences.. at least try n make sense with what u say u idiot..

  • @mukesh kumar. In today’s busy and stressful lives entertainment has also become a necessity. Be it entertainment or be it food, ‘quality’ is a relative term. For example, food (very unhygienic but fresh) without cockroach is relatively of poor quality and more harmful to your health compared to food (very hygienic) with cockroach in it (unless&untill you dont eat that cockroach). 3 idiots was as good a ‘quality’ entertaining movie as dabaang (different genres), but in different ways to different people. Remember only ‘quality’ masala movies have become blockbusters. kites(flop in india) was like a ‘mexican+spanish+phirang indian’ hybrid movie which was flawed, stretchy & of ‘average quality’. Guzaarish (flop in india) as well was of average quality and except for hrithik’s performance it was forgettable.

  • @mukesh kumar. Just try doing this for yourself. Dress up in the costliest of suit and in the costliest of car go to any theater(not multiplex) and just say this to anyone at the theatre “RA.1 is a quality movie”. And then wait for 5 minutes. Within 5 minutes an ambulance from a nearby “mental hospital” with 9 attendants(maximum), will come and take you directly to your new ‘home’. Just try it once.

  • @mukesh kumar. You want to watch movies which have “BOLDNESS & INNOVATION”, so as i have said before, for intelligent, connoisseur & genius person like you “shemale orgy porn movie (sRA.1)” should be the best choice as such movie will have lots and lots of “BOLDNESS & INNOVATION” with “highest quality”.
