Emraan Hashmi is riding the tide high with back to back success. He is one actor who has defined his own rules and have created a distinct place in the industry. With offers from all the major production houses pouring in, Emraan seems to be making a cut into the mainstream. And it's this new found position, considering Jannat 2 has got a good review, that has allowed Emraan to take a plunge into doing something different in his upcoming film.

His next film alongside Abhay Deol, Shanghai, is a much awaited film where Emraan would be seen a different avatar. So does he feel he is now ready to go out and do different kind of cinema? Emraan says, "Everyone's in a position to do different kind of cinema, but they choose not to.

 I am excited about the new look and the film as it is going to create a new image for me." He adds, "The audience is very smart these days and they know what a good film is, and if you make a good film, people will watch it. Shanghai is something different and I am sure people will accept me in the new look and the role. It is boring to do the same kind of films revolving around women and sex."
