New Delhi, April 4 (ANI): Bollywood Actor Emraan Hashmi has firmly rejected suggestions of a similarity between his upcoming flick 'Mr. X' and yesteryears Bollywood blockbuster 'Mr. India'.

In an exclusive interview given to ANI, Hashmi said, "No there is no connection between 'Mr. X' and 'Mr. India' as the connection and the similarities start and end with the man going invisible, and as far as I can recollect, 'Mr. India' gets a watch in which he presses a button and goes invisible. But, in our film, he is a man battling a sickness, he almost dies and there is a malfunction in his cells, which cannot reflect light and then he harnesses powers to become a superhero".

The 36-year-old actor further revealed another difference, in 'Mr. India', Anil Kapoor could be seen in red light, but 'Mr. X' could be seen in blue neon light and sunlight. Apart from invisibility factor, the entire film was completely different, he added.

Hashmi said the screenplay and the journey of the invisible man was different.

Directed by Vikram Bhatt and produced by Mahesh Bhatt, the movie will hit the screens on April 17.
