While talking about this in an interview recently, Emraan Hashmi said that Ameesha felt she was not suitable for the role. Emraan will not be able to do justice to this role. He said, “Amisha felt that I cannot do this. She had just delivered a hit film, so she was worried and wanted the casting to be right for the hero. She wanted an experienced actor to be cast for the role, then she went to Bhatt sir and said I don’t think Emraan is right. I was angry. I was very angry with him. Now that I look back, I think Ameesha was right in her opinion.
“I looked up to them too”
Along with this, in the same interview, Emraan Hashmi also revealed that he went on the sets in anger to take revenge from Ameesha. He said, “I used to go to film sets and watch them shoot, I used to watch them. I also told Bhatt sir to give me a chance. It wasn’t that I really couldn’t act. It was Ameesha who felt that I would not be able to act.
‘Footpath Sign Key’
Emraan further said, “I was free at that time, so I used to go to the film sets because I wanted to be associated with the film. I used to go to the set everyday. Although I wasn’t in the movie, I just went to watch. Then I signed my first film ‘Footpath’ with Special Films. After this, Ameesha Patel was seen in ‘Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar’ with Jimmy Shergill. The film was directed by Tanuja Chandra.
