Pakistani actor Javed Sheikh, who has been a part of films like Namastey London and Om Shanti Om, recalled his sour experience of working with Emraan Hashmi on the 2008 film Jannat. Javed appeared for a Ramadan Transmission with Omer Shahzad and Arsala on Aaj Entertainment's YouTube channel where he recounted his rendezvous with Emraan. 

Emraan Hashmi turned his face away

Javed revealed that he had not met Emraan before the shoot could commence, but when he did, the actor allegedly gave him a cold shoulder. He shared, “Mahesh Bhatt was the producer and got a new director on board, Kunal, to direct the project. He explained the entire plot and everything to me when I signed the project, but I had not had an opportunity to meet Emraan Hashmi until then.”
