Emraan Hashmi was also an important part of this film. Emraan played the role of Shoaib Khan, who was inspired by underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. The film was a hit and Emraan Hashmi’s character was well liked. But the filmmaker and Emraan’s uncle did not want Emraan to act in Once Upon a Time in Mumbai.

Milan Luthria had already narrated the story of the film to Mahesh Bhatt. Mahesh Bhatt did not want Emraan to play such a negative character inspired by Dawood. Emraan Hashmi himself has revealed this in an interview given to TheLlantop. Says Emraan, “He (Mahesh Bhatt) used to say that if you do this character, your career will be over. There were some things in the script that he heard. Maybe Milne told him the story. He was thinking something about the character.

Mahesh Bhatt had to apologize

Emraan Hashmi said that Mahesh Bhatt felt that Shoaib’s character was a character that would change his image. It’s usually easy to get away with gray shade characters in films, but seeing Shoaib’s character will change the audience’s perspective overnight. Imran said that the film released and was a huge success. Mahesh Bhatt then apologized to the director of the film. He called Milan Luthria and said I am sorry, I was wrong.

Emraan also talked about the climax of the film. He said that Mahesh Bhatt also had problems with the climax of the film Once Upon a Time in Mumbai. In the film, the hero i.e. Ajay Devgan dies and the villain i.e. Emraan Hashmi is shown as if he will now rule Mumbai. Mahesh Bhatt believed that the audience would not accept such a climax. However, the film was a superhit and its dialogues and songs were also well liked.
