Emraan Hashmi denies recent reports that he will play Mehmood in a biopic connected to music composer RD Burman. Citing rumours circulating online, Hashmi says he was “not approached” and calls the claims untrue.
The film is described as being inspired by RD Burman’s life, with Farhan Akhtar reported to play Burman. Other casting reports included Akshay Kumar as Rajesh Khanna, reflecting the period’s industry circles and the connections between these figures.
Different outlets frame Hashmi’s response similarly, reporting that he addresses the speculation directly on his social media accounts. While the reports vary on platform details (Instagram versus X), the core point is consistent across coverage: Hashmi is not confirmed in the Mehmood role and rejects the rumor’s premise.
