Emraan Hashmi Denies Involvement in RD Burman Biopic Amid Media Buzz

Emraan Hashmi has addressed recent speculation linking him to the RD Burman biopic, firmly stating that he is not part of the project. Reports had circulated suggesting that Hashmi would portray the legendary comedian Mehmood in the upcoming film about RD Burman, one of India's most celebrated music composers. The same reports also mentioned Akshay Kumar making a cameo appearance in the film.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Emraan Hashmi clarified, "the reports are untrue and that no one has approached him for the said role." This direct statement from the actor puts to rest the rumors about his involvement in the biopic, which had gained traction across entertainment portals and social media.

Hashmi, known for his diverse roles in Bollywood, is currently in the spotlight for his film 'Awarapan 2.' The sequel, directed by Nitin Kakkar and featuring Disha Patani as the female lead, was scheduled to release the same week as Sunny Deol's 'Batwara 1947.' The film has generated considerable anticipation among audiences, with both projects drawing attention for their box office clash.

While the RD Burman biopic continues to be a topic of interest due to its subject and rumored cast, Emraan Hashmi's clarification ensures there is no confusion about his participation. No further details about the biopic's full cast or production timeline have been confirmed as of now.
