Emraans next film Shaatir now titled Raja Natwarlal

An Amitabh Bachchan fan, Emraan Hashmi's favourite Big B film is Mr Natwarlal. Naturally, he is excited because he plays a conman in his next film called Raja Natwarlal, which has many twists, turns and several cons that eventually lead to a big one.

His character is based on a real-life conman, who pulled off notorious heists and duped people of crores of rupees, by disguising himself.

Originally titled Shaatir, the film's title was changed at the actor's insistence. Says Emraan, who plays street-smart con, Raja, "I've been after the producers to change the title as it is extremely catchy and etches out my character. It fits in well with the film's space and will help us in promotions."

Adds director Kunal Deshmukh, "I always wanted to present Emraan in a never-seen-before avatar. He plays the modern-day Natwarlal. The title is apt." Amrita Pandey, VP and Head, Theatrical, Television and Digital Distribution " Studio, Disney India, says, "Emraan, Kunal and our team were gung-ho about this title from the moment we hit upon it, as it sums up his character so perfectly."

Emraan is paired with Humaima Malick, who debuts in Bollywood with this film. Raja Natwarlal, produced by UTV Motion Pictures, releases August 29.

THIS is why I like Emraan.. His movies are always different, you can always count on him to provide you entertainment and a great story.

I am so happy that this movie is a get go unlike KJo who threw Ungli under the bus...like he doesn't even give a shit about it.

I am excited for Natwarlal as it will have Emraan with Paresh Rawal and KK Menon (has been long since I saw him) who are qualified actors to say the least.

I'm still pissed at KJO-Ekta for not making "Badtameez Dil" with Emraan-Kareena happen 😡
They shelved it


It was going to be huge, a Dharma-Balaji production collab!!

^God know what went wrong there...it was so sudden. Like first they hype it, only to disppoint fans
