Emraan Hashmi and John Abraham were recently seen together in Mumbai Saga which opened at a booming 2.82 crores on the first day.
Before the release, both the actors spoke to Bollywood Hungama about the theater releases, digital platforms, and being sex symbols in the industry.
On being asked about being sex symbols of the industry and if any notes are shared between him and John, Emraan Hashmi says, “I think what’s different about John is that when you are off the set, you pretty much roam around in probably a tank top like he is roaming around right now. As much as possible, kind of make your body in a way that you can remove your shirt as many times as possible. I don’t have that kind of body yet but it is a work in progress. I have taken the inspiration from him.”
On the other hand, John Abraham noted that it has something to do with starring in Bhatt camp movies. “I think with me and the common thing that we share is – maybe it is Bhatt School of acting that we come from. There’s this untold intensity that we have, that adds a lot to the way we perform or the way we are seen on screen and I think that is far more appealing than anything else – than fancy dancing or clothes. I think we are far away from what is seen as competition and we concentrate on intensity.”
“That is a modest sex symbol right there,” says Emraan, to which John responded, “No, no! I am not.”
Mumbai Saga was directed by Sanjay Gupta and produced by Bhushan Kumar & Krishan Kumar, Anuradha Gupta, and Sangeeta Ahir.
