The man who’s known for having mellifluous songs in his films, Emraan Hashmi is soon going to star in a comedy film, Sab First Class. He has majorly worked in crime, romantic and drama films,  he is moving away from his previous trend. Director, Balwinder Singh Januja is helming the film.

Januja is known for writing the screenplay of popular films such as Mubarakan, Firangi, and Saand Ki Aankh.

Further, Hashmi talked about partnering with Januja and said :

“The film is a hilarious yet sensitive story about the common man and how he can go to any length to fulfill his needs. In the bargain, he stands to lose his family, his face in society, and gets caught in a situation he cannot find his way out of. Balwinder’s script is a laugh-riot, but it has its poignant moments as well. It is unlike anything I have done before and I was pretty much on board after I heard the first narration!”

This is also the first time that Balwinder is working with Hashmi. He explained how they both got to start working on the project. They met through a mutual friend, which sparked a collaboration between them. Further, he said :

“We worked on the script and tightened it up and tailored it for him. As soon as he heard the script, his body language indicated that he was on. Although he wanted to sleep on it as any actor should. We did a few sessions on video conferencing as well, which is unlike anything I have ever done before. A week or so later, Emraan called me with suggestions and his thoughts. He was on and we were super excited!”

Apart from Sab First Class, Emraan has Sanjay Gupta’s Mumbai Saga and Chehre with Amitabh Bachchan.
