&quot;Whenever I have played on a risky wicket, I have had success coming my way. I have realised that audience too expects the same from me. I would most probably fail if I take a conformist approach. At least my current standing dictates so,&quot; Hashmi told in an interview. <img alt="Emraan Hashmi" src="/imagedata/2012/aug/Emraan.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 603px; " /> The actor, back after a well-deserved break post &#39;Jannat 2&#39; and &#39;Shanghai&#39;, is currently busy with the shooting of &#39;Ek Thi Daayan&#39;. He will be back in theatres soon with Vikram Bhatt&#39;s horror &#39;Raaz 3&#39; opposite Bipasha Basu. Hashmi says he is content with the way things have shaped up for him and does not want to get involved in the rat race. &quot;I can&#39;t get into the trapping of box office. I don&#39;t want that pressure on me. Also, number game does not interest me. I want to experiment with different kind of cinema. May be a couple of them don&#39;t take a huge opening but then it would give me creative satisfaction at least.&quot; Asked whether he is referring to &#39;Shanghai&#39; which fetched some of the best reviews this year but didn&#39;t make the right impact at the box office and Hashmi says &#39;Shanghai&#39; was never meant to be a run of the mill film. &quot;It had its own unique space and was always meant to be a departure from conventional Bollywood films. I credit Dibakar for being brave enough to pick such subject and tell a serious story without getting preachy. Personally too it worked for me as I saw good response from audience, trade, industry and critics alike,&quot; said Hashmi. Now he is expecting critical acclaim and good commercial response for &#39;Raaz 3&#39; as well. The film would see him reuniting with his &#39;Footpath&#39; director Vikram Bhatt, the man who is responsible for his Bollywood launch. &quot;&#39;Footpath&#39; is still my favourite performance. It was a special film because Vikram almost held my hand and took me through. All credit to him because he is very patient with the actors. &quot;He is similar in &#39;Raaz 3&#39;. He has vast known of 3D technicalities and has the task to take the franchise to the next level. The fact that the film has a great story to tell only adds further weight to the final results.&quot;
