Emraan Hashmi seen going ballistic in Shanghai's new song
Here we bring you the new song from Dibakar Banerjee’s Shanghai where Emraan Hashmi is seen going ballistic. It is known that the fan following of Emraan has gone on a huge rise ever since the super-success of The Dirty Picture.

And Shanghai is one of the most awaited films of the year and a big reason for the excitement is Emraan! We even hear that the music company is trying to sneak in a Sufi song and an intimate scene to please the fans of the serial-kisser.

If you watch this song you will realise that Emraan has gone all out to break every possible image that he has built over the years and he seems to be having a lot of fun while doing so. Bharat mata ki jai has been composed by music director-duo Vishal-Shekhar and has an anthem-like vibe to it.

Even the lyrics written by Dibakar Banerjee are quirky and sarcastically represents the state of our nation. The highlight of this catchy number is to see the Jannat 2 actor shed his inhibitions and dance like a possessed dervish along with his co-star Pitobash Tripathi.

Watch the song and tell us if Emraan’s dance reminds you of Bhiku Mhatre’s (Manoj Bajpayee) moves in the Sapne mein milti hai number in Ram Gopal Varma’s Satya!
