First Look – Emraan Hashmi As ‘Raja Natwarlal’

Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi’s next ‘Shaatir’ is based on a conman, who has pulled off a number of famous robberies and also fooled innumerable people. Emraan Hashmi’s character in the movie is named as Raja Natwarlal. Well there was a similar film named Mr. Natwarlal in which Amitabh Bachchan had played the stellar role. Emmi who is a big fan of Big B, is excited to play a character that is named after Big B’s movie.

As per sources, the name of the movie has been changed  from Shaatir to Raja Natwarlal on Emraan’s insistence. He said, “I’ve been after the producers to change the title as it is extremely catchy and etches out my character. It fits in well with the film’s space and will help us in promotions.”

Kunal Deshmukh the director of the movie added, “I always wanted to present Emraan in a never-seen-before avatar. He plays the modern-day Natwarlal. The title is apt. Emraan, Kunal and our team were gung-ho about this title from the moment we hit upon it, as it sums up his character so perfectly.”

Emraan is paired with Humaima Malick, who debuts in Bollywood with this film. Raja Natwarlal, produced by UTV Motion Pictures, releases August 29.
