Emraan Hashmi has denied reports that he will play the late actor-comedian Mehmood in a biopic. On Instagram, Hashmi said he was never approached for the role and is not connected to the project. The clarification comes after media speculation linked him to the film.
No official announcement about a Mehmood biopic has been made by any production house. Hashmi's statement appears to put the rumour to rest for now.
This is the rare Bollywood denial that should be taken at face value. Too often, actors tease projects with coy non-denials, then announce them months later. Hashmi's statement is blunt and specific: he was never approached, let alone signed. The lazy narrative that every veteran actor's life story is being fast-tracked into a biopic needs a pause. The test will be whether the production house, yet unnamed, confirms another actor in the role within six months. If the film is real, who will step forward?
