This time around with the trade vouching for him as one of the most saleable stars in the industry today, Emraan Hashmi aka Hitman Hashmi  is here to prove yet again that he is the “darling of the masses” with the crime thriller Rush.
Also starring Neha Dhupia and Sagarika Ghatge,the film revived by Percept Picture Company and creative director Priyanka Desai sees Hashmi play the charismatic and investigative journalist Sam who plunges into a vortex of violence in a deadly engineered game of cat and mouse .
Talking about the film says Emraan Hashmi “I was blown away by Shamin’s script.Its a film I’m very excited about and something I’ve never done before. I found a journalist's life tough. I play an investigative crime journo in a news channel”. 
The thorough professional that he is, Emraan Hashmi also went out of his way to accommodate the film without inconveniencing the team post the tragic loss of the director. 
Confirms producer Shailendra Singh ,Percept “Emraan has gone out of his way to accommodate the film, purely out of sentimental reasons. We all wanted Shamin Desai's dream to come true. Emraan was really shy about accepting the trophy. He felt he was not worthy of it. But we disagree."

“Bittoo sab ki lega is the kind of song that should feature me,” said actor Salman Khan after he heard the title track of Bittoo Boss. The music launch of the movie was done in full band-baaja style on Friday afternoon with Salman as the special guest and giving him company were actors Pulkit Samrat and Amita Pathak, Wide Frame Pictures’ Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak, VIACOM 18 Motion Pictures’ CEO Vikram Malhotra, Music Director Raghav Sachar, T-Series representatives and Director Supavitra Babul.   

Salman not just congratulated the young actors, but also mentioned the songs that he loved from the movie. “I loved the song Kaun Kenda and Audi (Tenu Tak De). I think the music of the movie is very well done. I wish the best to this movie,” said Salman. Pulkit thanked Salman for supporting them by being present for the music launch. “The fact that you came is a huge honor. I am thankful to you bhai,” said Pulkit to Salman. Salman quickly quipped jokingly, “Toh job hi kar, lekin meri mat lena… photo.” The crowd joined in cheers and laughter.  

“We know for the fact that the music of this movie is something that the young generation will thoroughly enjoy. Raghav has done a brilliant job and I am very glad that Salman came to encourage us,” said Kumar Mangat. There are seven songs in the album of the movie. Bittoo Sab Ki Lega sung by Mika, Kaun Kenda sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal, Kick Lag Gayi (1) sung by Raghav Sachar and Tulsi Kumar, Audi (Tenu Tak De) sung by Raghav Sachar and Natalie Di Luccio, Kabootar sung by Mika, Mann Jage sung by Shahid Maliya and Kaun Kenda (1) sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Shahid Maliya.   

“The background of the movie has wedding in it and that’s why the songs are all very foot-tapping wedding numbers. I enjoyed composing and singing for the movie,” said Raghav. The music label of the album is T-Series.  

The movie is directed by debutant, Supavitra Babul and will release on April 13th, 2012. Bittoo Boss is a young charming, ingenious and a fun filled wedding cameraman who takes pride in calling himself a “Sesky Video Shooter”. He is the star of all wedding celebrations of Anandpur Sahib, a small town in Punjab. 

Bittoo believes in spreading happiness through the beautiful moments he captures, moments, which you can rewind and keep watching for years and smile looking at them thus making them heartfelt experiences which last forever. He falls in love with an educated and strong-headed girl who makes him realize the importance of financial stability and monetary gains in order to gain respect and recognition. Smitten in love and bitten by the one he loves, the smart and righteous cameraman is lured to take a shortcut in order to earn a quick buck and get his life back on track. What follows is a madcap ride.
