"These award ceremonies really don't make a
difference to me. I have got my acclaim and awards from the audience... I don't
really see that (award functions) as something I ever really believed it. I
generally don't approve of these nominations," Emraan said.
"If you
see any award ceremony, they are pleasing everyone. There are three categories
for every actor... it's ridiculous... and three awards given to music. I really
don't want to be part of the circus. The whole industry goes and claps for it
but I don't want to be part of it," he said.
Set primarily in 1970s
Mumbai, "Once Upon A Time in Mumbai" captures the changing face of
the Mumbai underworld seen through the eyes of a police officer. Directed by
Milan Luthria, the crime thriller follows the rise of Sultan (Ajay Devgn) and
his eventual fall when his protégé Shoaib (Emraan) challenges his supremacy and
usurps power to rule the murky underbelly of the city.
While Emraan was
nominated at both the Star Screen Awards and the Apsara Awards, he did not bag
a prize for his performance. Emraan has won an award for his work in
"Murder" at the 2005 Stardust Awards.
