"In my opinion, Emraan Hashmi is the actor to look out for. There is an edge to him that makes him so special," he said.
After showing his romantic side in films like "Murder" and "Jannat", the 32-year-old is currently seen in a comic avatar in Dibakar Banerjee's "Shanghai", which released Friday.
His upcoming projects include Pooja Bhatt's "Raaz 3", and Vishal Bharadwaj's "Ek Thi Daayan".
