Actor Emraan Hashmi may be known as a romance expert, he is also known for his affinity towards the horror genre. The actor has always shared that it was his love towards the genre that got him to take up such movies. The actor is currently looking forward to the release of horror film ‘Dybbuk’, which is set to premiere on Amazon Prime video.
His first Hindi film with a Hebrew title, Emraan said, “It is an unusual title which means ghost and is perfect as it defines our film. We have done away with the supernatural cliches which we see in horror films. It is an extremely unpredictable film. I had watched the original three years back and loved it.” Emraan himself has had an encounter with the supernatural onscreen.
Narrating a tale from his childhood, where he witnessed an exorcism that left him shaken, Emraan said, “I cannot link it with the supernatural as there are some things which have no explanation. My mother followed Christianity and would regularly take me to the church. When I was about seven-eight, we had gone for a sermon, and an exorcism was happening in there. I didn’t see but heard it, and I don’t know if it was a man or a woman. However, at that age, or any age, it was pretty much the most frightening thing,” Emraan said.
He further shared that he is quite a rational person, but he feels it would be arrogant on his part to say that the supernatural cannot exist.
