Dino's not bothered by the serial kisser | | | Dino Morea and Emraan Hashmi in Aksar | Dino Morea is not feeling insecure about the Aksar promos that are on air now, featuring Emraan Hashmi and Udita Goswami.
"It was a conscious decision taken by producers Shyam and Narendra Bajaj and director Anant Mahadevan not to show me too much," says Dino.
"Aksar is a suspense thriller and I play a highly intelligent, suave and charming husband who is actually a smooth criminal so they didn't want to give away my role and what I do in the film." Dino has reason to feel confident.
"When they recently shot the remix version of Jhalak dikhlaja at Mukesh Mills, T-Series, the music company insisted that I be there too. I shot with my shirt off and exposing my body because that's what sells these days…right?"
