This film is ready to release June 8.
Hashmi said he plays the role of a porn filmmaker called Joginder Parmar.
"I play the role of Joginder Parmar. He's an overly rooted and real character. He's extremely interesting and also you would all love him. It is very different from what I played in 'Kalyug'," he said on the music launch here.
Hashmi's look could be very different within the movie.
"There were a large number of look tests after the nature sketch was given. Eventually this one emerged. I needed to placed on weight for this character. I needed to go two shades darker. Within the morning, we used to arrange for this, before the shoot."
"I needed to even work on my teeth and put things on it to get the look. I dont know the way many actors would need to seem grotesque on screen. When Dibankar told me, he thought I MIGHT say no, but I DID NOT. I FEEL its an ideal opportunity," he added.
"I gained nine-10 kilos. I needed to start changing my diet and eat only fast food and pasta at the set."
The cast includes Abhay Deol, Kalki Koechlin and Bengali actor Prosenjit Chatterjee.
Talking in regards to the film, Hashmi said: "Its an overly normal film. Its relevant and the tale could be very interesting. I'M sure this film may be a landmark film for us. Its an enchanting film. We now have maintained a commercial outlook with the music of this film."
After back to back hits like "Jannat 2" and "Murder 2", Hashmi appears to be one of the vital biggest stars of Bollywood today.
Asked whom he desires to dedicate this success to, he said: "I'VE always said that once a movie does well, its as a result of team. All of the team contributes to it. This can be a synergy of talent. Even supposing 'Shanghai' works, its a team effort. NUMEROUS work goes right into a film and its a large number of departments who interact".
