Emraan Hashmi talks about how actors should stay relevant

Actor Emraan Hashmi believes the key to staying relevant in the world of cinema is to be open-minded and learn from the younger generation, understanding how they think and work.

In the 2000s, Hashmi established himself as of the most talented actors in the industry with his performances in movies such as Gangster, The Dirty Picture, Shanghai and Tigers, and attained commercial success with his franchise like Raaz, Murder and Jannat.

Hashmi said it was important to reinvent oneself and that could happen by collaborating with contemporary filmmakers. “Relevance is something I think is important when you cross a certain age, when the new breed of actors and filmmakers come in. It’s very important to kind of learn from them. When you tune into their minds and you reinvent yourself, and do a fresh take on characters and genres and films, and not live in the past...That’s where the whole game of relevance comes in,” the actor said.
