Emraan Hashmi Commends Ranbir Kapoor’s Convincing Gray Character in Animal
Emraan Hashmi recently shared his admiration for Ranbir Kapoor’s acting prowess in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s blockbuster film, Animal. Known for his own dynamic roles, Hashmi appreciated Kapoor’s dedication to his complex character, which has continued to captivate audiences even a year after the film’s release.
Emraan Hashmi Applauds Ranbir Kapoor’s Role in Animal
Emraan Hashmi, who made his acting debut with Footpath in 2003 and gained fame with the 2004 thriller Murder, has built a reputation for taking on challenging roles. His portrayal of the antagonist Aatish Rehman in Tiger 3, alongside Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, is just one example of his versatile acting skills.
During a recent podcast with Shubhankar Mishra, Hashmi discussed Kapoor’s performance in Animal. He admitted that he hadn’t watched many of Kapoor’s earlier “chocolate boy” roles but was deeply impressed by his portrayal in Animal. “Ranbir played a complex character with such conviction. It’s truly commendable,” Hashmi remarked.
Emraan Hashmi Reflects on Being Typecast
In the same interview, Hashmi also talked about his own experience with being typecast as Bollywood’s “serial kisser.” He explained how certain traits can become synonymous with an actor’s image, making it difficult to shake off.
Hashmi pointed out that even megastars like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan have signature elements that audiences expect. Shah Rukh is known for his iconic open-arms pose, while fans love to see Salman remove his shirt. Anil Kapoor’s memorable “Jhakaas” dialogue also exemplifies this phenomenon.
Looking Ahead
After a brief cameo in Sara Ali Khan’s Ae Watan Mere Watan, Hashmi is now busy with two upcoming South Indian films. His reflections on the industry and praise for Kapoor’s work in Animal highlight his respect for diverse acting talents and the evolving nature of Bollywood cinema.
