Notorious for being uninhibited about locking lips with his on-screens co-stars, Emraan Hashmi is excited to feature alongside Sunny Leone in a special number, Piya More, in Baadshaho.
"I'm glad that I'm finally working with her," Hashmi tells mid-day, adding that while several filmmakers had approached the two for a collaboration, the developments never materialised.

"I'm glad that it eventually is this song that we're doing together. Milan [Luthria, director] really pulled off a coup of sorts. The track is well picturised and Sunny has done a fantastic job. She looks lovely in it."

With a dancer of her caliber being paired along with him, Hashmi confesses he kept his moves to the minimum. "Most of the dancing is being done by Sunny. I join in a bit for the hook step which is catchy."
The duo also indulged in banter on Twitter yesterday, when Sunny coyly responded to Hashmi's: "Sharam Aur Main Toh Ek Sentence Mein Nahi Aate.
Do You'll Agree?" with: "Innocence and you, definitely not! But, me and you, hell yes."

With 'Baadshaho', the team of Ajay, Emraan and filmmaker Milan Luthria will return to the silver screen after a gap of seven years since the release of 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai'.
Emraan Hashmi, who has reunited with Ajay Devgn for 'Baadshaho', had earlier said that Ajay Devgn has been one of his best co-actors so far.
"Ajay is fantastic. He is one of my best co-actors so far. He is a very secure and brilliant actor. Every time I work with him I learn something new," Emraan said at an event earlier in Mumbai.

Besides them, the film also features Esha Gupta and Ileana D'Cruz.
'Baadshaho', which is set against the backdrop of the Emergency period in the country, is produced by Luthria and Bhushan Kumar.
'Baadshaho' marks the fourth collaboration of Luthria with Ajay. They had earlier worked for 'Kachche Dhaage', 'Chori Chori' and 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbai'.
