'Emraan Hashmi is cocky'

Emraan Hashmi has had three consecutive hits and life couldn't be better. "I don't take success or failure too seriously. 

Although, yes, it is time to celebrate," he smiles. He has just teamed up with UTV Motion Pictures and director Raj Kumar Gupta for comic thriller, Ghanchakkar. 

The actor admits he has met many weird people in his life, but his eccentric character in the film surpasses them all. "What hooked me was that despite the subject being edgy, quirky and out-of-the-box, it is very commercial." 

Writer-director Raj Kumar Gupta says, "It is acracker of a script." For Gupta, who has given two hits - Aamir and No One Killed Jessica - Emraan was the perfect choice for the role. "His character is enigmatic. No one can read his mind. Emraan has that quality about him, and is cocky too. Also, he has that aloof urban attitude required for the character," adds Gupta. 

The actor is all praise for the bespectacled director. He says, "Raj is a great storyteller. No One Killed Jessica, was a very well told story. Ghanchakkar is one of the best scripts I've read in recent times." 

"Raj goes into minute details. He had all the answers to my questions. I think the film will be a landmark in my career," he adds. Ghanchakkar is his first film with UTV and it goes on the floors mid 2012.
