<p>Though Emraan Hashmi’s latest film Rush received a lukewarm response from audiences, the actor is not at all disappointed.<br /><br /></p>.<p> With a track record like Murder, Once upon a Time in Mumbaai, The Dirty Picture, Jannat, Shanghai and Raaz 3 to his credit, the actor has good reason not to be fazed.<br /><br /> Neither does he believe in joining Rs 100 crore club. For him movies with cinematic finesse and those having a long shelf life matter more than those which present him in frivolous characters. Since Emraan seems to be satisfied with his career graph so far, he voices his thoughts in a candid chat with Metrolife.<br /><br />“Honestly, Rs 100 crore club is a myopic way of looking at the business done by movies. It seems ridiculous that if the overall budget of a glossy movie is Rs 80 crores and it is able to generate only Rs 100 crore. <br /><br />The total production cost of Raaz 3 was Rs nine crores but it made a profit of Rs 80 crore at the box-office. Similar was the case with Jannat 2 whose production cost was one-fourth of the total profit generated,” says Emraan. <br /><br />Abiding by his ideology for hits and misses, the actor took a risk with Shanghai earlier this year. “Shanghai made only Rs 20-25 crores at the box-office but it is the shelf-life of the movie that makes it different,” shares Emraan.<br /><br /> So, is he ready to experiment? “I just want to do movies which have cinematic finesse. After 30 years if I look back at my films, my work should give me satisfaction. So, I am ready to take risks,” says Emraan.<br /><br />What attracts the actor most while selecting films are challenging roles. “After spending years in the industry I am clear about what I want. <br /><br />There are some tried and tested roles but how they can be portrayed differently is what one gradually learns. The character of a traditional hero who can fight 20 men at a time is also not my cup of tea.” <br /><br />What about films that once landed him in an awful state. Take for instance, Good Boy Bad Boy. Emraan says, “Good Boy Bad Boy was a disaster... a bad experience. It was after this movie I turned away from comedy. But now I am ready to try my luck once again with Ghanchakkar directed by Raj Kumar Gupta and Vidya Balan as my co-star.”<br /><br />Emraan will be soon seen in Karan Johar’s next untitled movie opposite Kareena Kapoor. “I don’t know whether Kareena is in the movie or not but I will be working for Dharma Productions,” he replies matter of factly.<br /><br /></p>
