Emraan Hashmi in an exclusive chat with Screen explains the difficulty faced by him trying to master the main character of Raja Natwarlal film.
Emraan Hashmi: Actually, I had seen a couple of films which were technically about frauds and scams. But Raja Natwarlal is in a different zone, as it only has scams as its sub-plot. So, there was no extensive research involved as such. I went through a couple of articles on con-men and also watched a few television shows to understand the mindset. That?s about it!
But yes, the most interesting part was to learn the teen-patti game, which both Kunal (Deshmukh, director) and I did under disguises outside a few railway stations in Mumbai. That helped us to figure out the way it is played on the streets.
