I have always wanted to be a strong mass actor - Emraan

With the blazing success of Jannat 2 Emraan Harshmi still wishes to be the man for the masses. He has given back to back successes starting from Murder 2 which he did last year. He has been the man associated with most of the successful movies, but the critics and reviewers still fails to classify him in the A-list of actors. Jannat 2 which came out with a seemingly common storyline was backed up strongly by the performances by its actors, the lead role played by Emraan was regarded as the game changer in the movie.

When the daily recently caught up with the actor - they asked up the most popular question about him being excluded from the A-list; "I have never really wanted to sort myself and other actors by that list. I have always done films that I believed in and yes it is very important for box office collections to do well. I have never really wanted to belong," the 33-year-old said here in Mumbai. 

Murder 2, The Dirty Picture and Jannat 2 was one of the most critically acclaimed characters by the actor and he has gone from the spoiled metro youngster to the gangster - he has never really stopped experimenting when it comes to taking up roles. He says ""I'd rather not belong to a particular list and just do films I probably did four years back. I don't want to get safer with the success of 'Jannat 2'. I want to do riskier films and make them a success,".

The actor also feels that his movies should be able to pull up masses more than classes (not that he hates it!) and he works each of his movies to make an impression to the people he loves. "I hold the verdict of the people who watch films cinematically in single screens very close to my heart. I go to single screens to watch the reaction of the people. For me that is a big reward. I have always wanted to be a strong mass actor," says Emraan. 

Emraan's next is Dibakar Banerjee's Shanghai in which he plays Joginder Parmar, a porn filmmaker. He is also set to work in his first 'U' certified film (sic!)

Whether be the serial kisser or the real gangster or the lover boy - we love you Emraan!
