Emraan Hashmi has tasted great success in the year 2011 with two of his films Murder 2 and The Dirty Picture standing unbeatable at the box-office.

Following the success of 2011, 2012 too has some big and profitable ventures for him and amongst these happens to be PVR Pictures' Shanghai, where Abhay Deol is also playing a parallel lead along with Emraan. Directed by Dibakar Banerjee, the film will release on June 8, 2012. It also features Kalki Koechlin and Prosenjit Chatterjee in prominent roles.

As per the sources the film is based on the life of politicians and their greed and has been inspired from Costa Gavras directed movie Z, released in 1969. Shanghai portrays the current political scenario and how a common man gets his revenge back.

Talking about the film, Dibakar said, “Frankly I have been stunned by the performances from our stars and our character artistes. I can safely say that all preconceived notions that people have about both Abhay and Emraan are going to be shattered by this movie”.

Well, with stars like Emraan and Abhay on board we hope the film creates wonders at box-office!
