'Tum Mile' director slams rumours about Emraan's role

Mumbai, July 16 (IANS) Director Kunal Deshmukh's next outing 'Tum Mile' will show Emraan Hashmi portraying the role of a painter once again after 'Raaz...The Mystery Continues', but he denies any similarities in his role.

'Emraan's role in 'Raaz...' and the one in 'Tum Mile' are completely different. The painter in my film is more real considering its backdrop (Mumbai floods) and for that Emraan got into the skin of the character,' Deshmukh told IANS.

'He trained and learned all the required techniques and mediums from artiste Sailesh Achrekar. We also met a lot of upcoming painters and spoke to them about the style, etc, which came in very handy,' he added.

Also starring Soha Ali Khan, 'Tum Mile' is slated to release Nov 13.
