Felt like the wait is over, says Emraan Hashmi on Chehre co-star Amitabh Bachchan

In the upcoming thriller Chehre (2021), Emraan Hashmi and Amitabh Bachchan will be seen together on the big screen for the first time. The mystery film also features Annu Kapoor, Krystle D’Souza, Dhritiman Chatterjee, Raghubir Yadav and Siddhanth Kapoor.

The teaser for the film showed the characters of Kapoor, Hashmi and Bachchan trying to get justice for a crime, which proves to be a hard task.

Hashmi shared his thoughts on working with the veteran actor after all this time. “I felt like the wait is over,” he said. “We have grown up following Amitabh Bachchan sir and every artiste in the industry desires to work with him. It seems like I have achieved a huge milestone in my career.

“It is so amazing to see the discipline that Amitabh Bachchan sir has even after being in the industry for over five decades,” he added. "Our industry is not very discipline-oriented, which can be a little difficult at times, but he has inspired me, and so many others, to walk the same path. He is extremely punctual, always reaches the set on the given time. And that is a practice that I have always followed as well. It is motivating to see the respect he gives to his craft, which is why not only me, but the industry, the audience, everyone has such high admiration and respect for him.”

Directed by Rumy Jafry, Chehre is produced by Anand Pandit Motion Pictures and Saraswati Entertainment Private Limited. The film, which also stars actress Rhea Chakraborty, is due to be released in theatres on 9 April.
