Seen as an anti-hero in most of his outings so far, one wonders what really is Emraan's fascination with bringing on grey characters for practically each of his films. After all even in a relatively softer role as seen in 'Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji', he wasn't being a conventional hero as he actually went on to have an affair with a mother as well as her daughter.

"Well, I think anti-hero has a lot to do with anti establishment", says Emraan who played a part in 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai' where his character bore close resemblance to Dawood Ibrahim, "There is certain prescribed way of thinking in the society and a conventional hero stands up for that. He stays on to be politically correct. On the other hand an anti-hero defies what has already been established."

"See, most of the times in our life we are forced to contest the established. When someone goes out there and manages to topple the establishment, though in a manner which is not conventional or perhaps fully legal and ethical, audience root for him", Emraan continues, "They manage to connect with such a character."

We would want to see if the story repeats itself in 'Murder 2' as well.
