Emraan Hashmi is very happy acting and, unlike other stars, says he will not move an inch away from front of the camera to take on responsibilities of directing or producing films.

"Not at the moment. I'll act until I'm kicked out or audiences boo me out from the halls, saying we don't want to watch this man's movies' any more...I'll think about doing something else then," Hashmi said.

The actor has repeatedly portrayed roles with negative shades in movies like Gangster, Jannat and the upcoming Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai.

Asked if he was being typecast, Hashmi said while the roles were all "dark", they were still different.

"Most of my characters are anti-establishment. They rebel...They have similar traits. But it would be typecasting if I do one role again and again.

"Shah Rukh Khan plays a lover boy in every film...that doesn't typecast him. He plays an eternal romantic character on screen. If I play an angry young man or a hot blooded criminal in every film...that might typecast me but not these," he said.
