Ace actor Emraan Hashmi said no to play the role of 'Bikini Killer' Charles Shobhraj even if he is better known as 'serial kisser' for locking lips with Bollywood beauties onscreen.

Director Prawal Raman has plans to make a flick on the serial killer 'Shobhraj' and he offered the main role to the actor.

However, Hashmi, who is on a high with the victory of his newest release 'Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai' in which he has recently played the role of a gangster, showed his refusal to play another negative role in a row.

Earlier, Prawal has directed the films like Gayab, Loot, Darna Mana Hai and Zabardast.

According to a source close to Emraan, "Emraan is not interested to play the same kind of role once again as he does not want to be a typecast. He will definitely do such kind of negative role in future but not right now."

AT present, Shobhraj the accused in the murder case of an American tourist in the year 1975 is serving a lifelong sentence in Nepal.

The 66-year-old is thought to be a psychopath, who has allegedly killed 12 people all over Asia in the 1970s. Thus, he has earned the moniker of 'serpent' and 'bikini killer'. (With Inputs from Agencies)
