It seems that the serial-kisser Emraan Hashmi doesn’t know what happens when someone takes panga with the likes of Mahesh Bhatt, who also happens to be his uncle and godfather.

Emraan H was supposed to shoot for a film titled Mr X produced under the Bhatt banner. Instead, the actor chose to cancel his dates for the project and got busy promoting Raja Natwarlal, a movie that’s going to be released next month co-starring our very own Humaima Malik (who is looking a tad Lollywoodian in the promos). It left Mahesh B fuming and he tweeted, “Emraan can’t steal it from Peter and gift it to Paul.”

You wonder, the uncle is referring to himself as Peter or Paul!
