Emraan Hashmi ropes in 'Azhar' director Tony D'Souza to helm his maiden production venture

Bollywood's serial kisser is ready to take on a new role. Emraan Hashmi is joining the growing list of actors venturing into production. And for his maiden project, the actor is collaborating with his 'Azhar' director, Tony D'Souza.

Says a source, "Emraan and Tony have discussed a few scripts and zeroed in on two. One is a drama and the other a comedy. They are yet to decide which to take up first. Once Emraan is back from his US vacation, things will be finalised."

The 37-year-old actor decided to rope in Tony for his debut production venture apparently since he was elated over the response to his last release, 'Azhar'. Tony confirms the story and adds, "After the success of 'Azhar', Emraan and I are happy to join hands on this venture. While we cannot disclose much at this juncture, we are finalising the script and the casting."
