Gurgaon: Emraan Hashmi will be seen playing asuave thief in his upcoming film Ghanchakkar and directorRajkumar Gupta feels the actor's mysterious personality makeshim perfect for the role.

"There is a certain amount of mystery about Emraan. As aperson, there is a sense of enigma around him, you can nevermake out what he is thinking. He speaks less. Also you don'tknow whether to believe him or not. He fits the character ofSanjay Athray well," Gupta said.

The comedy-thriller also stars Vidya Balan, who playsHashmi's over-the-top Punjabi wife in the film. This isGupta's second collaboration with the National Award-winningactress. They have previously worked in 2011 hit film No OneKilled Jessica, which was based on the controversial JessicaLal murder case.

"I am working with Vidya not because our last outing wassuccessful. I think when me and my co-writer Parvez Sheikhfinished this script and decided to cast, only Emraan andVidya's names came to our mind. Vidya is the finest, fearless,gutsiest actress we have today. Her character Neetu isvibrant, robust Punjabi housewife and Vidya was the only onewho could take it to another level," Gupta said.

Ghanchakkar is Gupta's third film. He made his Bollywooddebut in 2008 with critically and commercially successful filmAamir and then followed it up with No One Killed Jessica.

"Ghanchakkar is a very different movie from my previousfilms. It is in the humorous, suspense, thriller space that Ihave not explored before. We don't make comic thrillers - itis either a comedy or a thriller.

"The comic element in this film is not very over-the-topor below the belt. It is not making fun of any personal,physical aspect of human form. It is situational, veryday-to-day, relatable," Gupta said.

Ghanchakkar also stars Rajesh Sharma and Namit Das andwill hit theatres this Friday (June 28, 2013).
