Bhatts-Emran relationship is on the verge of split?

The well-known Bhatt-Emran union seems to be coming to an end, if news is to be believed. It is commonly known in the movie circles that Bhatts were the only production house who gave the break to Emran Hashmi in “Footpath” (a 2003 release).

Ever since, all Vishesh Films (production house of Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt) has opted to present Emraan in the lead in all its movies barring “Dhoka” (2007). Muzammil Ebrahim, a hatchling model made the cut in “Dhoka” in the place of Emran. Matters seem to have changed in the equation between the Bhatt twosome and the serial kisser Emran of late.

The production house has zeroed in on Kunal Khemmu to don the mantle of hero in its upcoming movie. And the loser, for the present, is Emran Hashmi. Mukesh Bhatt is cheerful that “Murder 2” will be a trend-setter and the production house intends to lay its hands on raw talent and convert them to stardom rather than hiring pricey proven stuff.

He includes that Vishesh Films has carved a niche for itself by turning out hits sans the big stars and will like to continue this simple mantra to sustain in the field for a longer time.
