A source close to Hashmi revealed, “Emraan had always wanted to train in a special VFX course before he started his acting career. However, since he had just started working as an assistant director on Raaz, the actor had no time to spare. And now, after ten years, it was on the sets of the third film of the same franchise (Raaz 3), that his passion to learn VFX was rekindled.”

Hashmi confirmed the news and said, "I've always been into visual effects. It was something I took keen interest in before films happened.”

“I am a part of Raaz 3, a film that is shot entirely on 3D. It has encouraged me to pursue my dream. Hopefully, if time permits, I will travel to the United States and attend a crash course in visual graphics and animation," the actor concluded.
