Vishesh feels that Randeep Hooda has not replaced Emraan per say.
Highlights
- Filmmaker Mukesh Bhatt's son Vishesh, who is making his directorial debut with Murder 3, says the audience will not miss actor Emraan Hashmi this time, as Randeep Hooda fits the bill perfectly for the third installment of the franchise.
- The franchise began in 2004 with Murder directed by Anurag Basu starring Hashmi and Mallika Sherawat in the lead.
- Then in 2011 came Murder 2 again with Emraan Hashmi but with Mohit Suri as the director and Jacqueline Fernandez playing the love interest.
- Now in Murder 3 Randeep Hooda has replaced Emraan Hashmi, and Aditi Rao Hydari will be playing the leading lady alongside Pakistani actress Mona Lizza.
- However, Vishesh feels that Randeep Hooda has not replaced Emraan per say.
- "We have not replaced anyone. We felt for Murder 3 Randeep was the best choice. If you all miss Emraan Hasmi in the film then do let me know. But according to me you all will not miss Emraan in the film as Randeep is perfect for this film," Vishesh told reporters last night, unveiling the first look of Murder 3.
- "When we were making films with Emraan, people started questioning why we have him in almost every film. And now that we don't have him people ask why he is not there in the film," he said.
- "It is all about who suits the role. Like in case of Jannat, when I was writing the film it was meant for Emraan and so he did it," the director said.
- The film will release on Valentine's Day.
