Mumbai, June 22: Mumbai Looks like there is one ‘saalon purani dushmani’ which has come to an end. Emraan Hashmi and Mallika Sherawat who haven’t worked with each other since ‘Murder’ seem to have decided to bury the cudgel.
Hashmi had decided to keep his distance from Mallika after she took several unflattering digs at the Bhatt camp. Now, the he bitterness between the two seems to have been ceased. They may not be doing a film together yet but given their current relationship, it won’t be a surprise if they end up sharing screen space with each other soon.
“Emraan doesn’t believe in carrying a grudge for long and though after ‘Murder’ he chose to stay away from Mallika, he is not allowing his current professional decisions to be affected by his personal likes or dislikes”, said sources close to Emraan who will be next seen in ‘Murder 2’, a film that was originally meant for him and Mallika.
It is reported that when the Bhatts had suggested Sherawat for the sequel, Emraan had put his foot down, remembering the publicity hogging tactics she had indulged in when they had promoted the original.
An industry source rubbished these reports, insisting that Hashmi was not involved in the casting for ‘Murder 2’. Sources said, choosing Jacqueline Fernandez for the sequel was a decision made by the Bhatts.
When he was quizzed on this, Emraan said, “As for casting, I can talk about myself. So yes, I was in ‘Murder 2’ from Day 1. Why is Mallika not there? Well, for that you would have to ask Bhatts.”
Does this mean that the two will be the lead for ‘Murder 3’? Watch this space for more.
