There were a lot of accusations from Emraan Hashmi's fans for him not being cast in the third installment of Murder. But, director Mahesh Bhatt has revealed that it was Emraan Hashmi who rejected the film.

He states that Emraan liked the script when it was narrated to him, but later felt that the script was heroine centric. Hence, he refused to be a part of this flick, as it would have very less importance for him.
