Abhay, Emraan will break stereotypes in ‘Shanghai’: Dibakar Banerjee

Filmmaker Dibakar Banerjee, who has brought actors Emraan Hashmi and Abhay Deol together for the first time for his film “Shanghai”, says they will be seen in a new light in his movie.

“I have been aware of how people look at Abhay… they see him as this black sheep and dark horse. And I know when people think of Emraan, they think of a kiss. But in this film, equations will change and they will be seen in a very different light,” Dibakar told IANS.

“I needed two characters who were dramatically different in this film. Abhay came in first and then I pursued Emraan. They’ll be breaking all kinds of stereotypes in this film,” added the director of “Khosla Ka Ghosla” and “Love Sex Aur Dhokha”.

“Shanghai” will go on floors this April.
