Pradeep Sarkar, who passed away on March 24, was in talks with Emraan Hashmi for a romantic musical thriller. The actor had apparently liked the concept, and was to take a call after reading the final draft of the script.
According to a report in a news portal, the movie, envisioned as a blend of music and crime, was right up Emraan's alley. The actor has had success in this genre in the past, be it with Kalyug, Gangster, Raaz: The Mystery Continues, or Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai (2010). Sarkar's next was along similar lines, and was to see Emraan in the lead as a charming but deceptive character.
