"Probably, this (Ek Thi Daayan) is my second or third film with U/A certificate, but it's a welcome change," Emraan said adding, "as it is said that with U/A certificate, the audience increases by 15 to 20 percent. It's great to somewhere capitalise through the content of this film, so that a larger audience embraces this film."
On the other hand Emraan would also love to meet a real witch someday. "I think I am a little superstitious, but I haven't had the chance to meet any daayan. But I definitely want to meet one and it would be great if she is beautiful and sexy," Emraan said at a press conference.
