Emraan Hashmi became synonymous with the ‘serial kisser’ tag in the early 2000s, following bold romantic films like Murder and Aashiq Banaya Aapne. At the trailer launch of Gunmaaster G9 in Pune, the actor jokingly blamed filmmaker Aditya Datt for it and said he had been dealing with the consequences. The two are reuniting after 21 years.

Emraan recalled his collaborations with Aditya Datt on Aashiq Banaya Aapne and Dil Diya Hai. Talking about the films, the actor joked, “These were the films that, whenever they aired on TV, parents would decide it was time to send their children to bed.” Referring to Datt, he added, “This is all thanks to him (Aditya Datt). I've been dealing with the consequences for 20 years.”
