In 2007, Emraan Hashmi delivered his Career Best Film and Career Best Performance with Awarapan.

After Raaz 3, some of his notable work included films like Ek Thi Daayan, Raja Natwarlal, Hamari Adhuri Kahani, Azhar, Baadshaho and Selfiee. Emraan’s last theatrical release Selfiee which also had Akshay Kumar proved to be a disaster at the Box Office.
