Gangster is a 2006 Hindi crime thriller film that premiered on 28 April. It stars Shiney Ahuja, Emraan Hashmi and Kangna Ranaut. The plot is that of a bar girl who falls in love with two people, one a layman and the other a gangster. The music is composed by Pritam Chakraborty. The film was rumored to be based on the life of mobster Abu Salem and former actress Monica Bedi, but the director Anurag Basu said that it is not based on any real people or incidents. Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Akhtar was initially offered the role of Daya, but he turned it down saying, "Cricket is not only my profession but my obsession as well." Gangster was a semi hit at the box office.
