Emraan Hashmi was launched by Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt 13 years ago. He became a hero followed by the masses, thanks to his mentors' continuous backing and vision.While he was labelled 'serial kisser' for his lip-locks with his leading ladies. Often, the songs of his films fuelled their success and his.

Now, in a symbiotic relationship, the filmmakers' favourite actor will help newcomer Gaurav Arora find his feet. He plays the parallel lead in their upcoming horror venture with T-Series, Raaz Reboot, written and directed by Vikram Bhatt. In the past too, the Bhatts and Emraan have together promoted artistes like Shiney Ahuja in Gangster, Randeep Hooda in Jannat 2 and Kunal Kemmu in Kalyug, besides endorsing acclaimed names like Irrfan in Killer.

Gaurav, who debuted under Vikram's direction in Love Games, for the first time, shares screen space with an established actor close to his mentors. Those who have seen the rushes of the spine-chiller's fourth installment, produced by Mukesh Bhatt, Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar, claim that Emraan will prove lucky for this new actor too.

Raaz Reboot, presented by Gulshan Kumar and Vishesh Films, releases September 16.
