Emraan to work in Dharma's next!

There was a time when an Emraan Hashmi film essentially meant Mahesh Bhatt. Or a dark subject. And of course, a lot of lovemaking. Though the lovemaking hasn't changed, Emraan Hashmi has surely moved on from Vishesh Films. In fact, after Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji and The Dirty Picture, Mumbai Mirror has found out that Emraan has collaborated with Karan Johar for his next production to be directed by Rensil D'Silva.

A source close to the production house informed Mumbai Mirror, "After Kurbaan, Rensil was supposed to make a film with Salman Khan in the lead role. However, with Salman's 2012 calendar choc-a-bloc with the many projects he is currently filming, the filmmaker has decided to make another film in the meantime. The ensemble cast for this new project will have Emraan Hashmi in the lead role. The rest of the cast is still being finalised."

This film will be Emraan's first with Dharma Productions. "Having delivered a string of hits, it is clear that Emraan has a massive fan following. The producers realise that Emraan is a big star in the industry today. And thus, Karan Johar and Rensil D'Silva have decided to work with him in their next project," added the source.

Everything else about the film has been kept under wraps. The announcement would be made soon.

Despite repeated attempts, Emraan Hashmi and Karan Johar remained unavailable.
