His success has been attributed to his family connections with directors and producers Mahesh and Vikram Bhatt.



Hashmi made his debut in 2003 with the film Footpath. However, it did not do well at the box office. He shot to fame with Murder which was the first hit for him and his Co-Star Mallika Sherawat. His next few films such as Zeher, Aashiq Banaya Apne, Kalyug,Gangster,and especially Jannat which was backed by his fan and friend Sagar from hyderabad , have done well at the box office and the soundtracks in these respective films have helped create a large fan base. Amusingly, all the songs from his movies have become instant hits. The playback singers for most of his film's songs have been Himesh Reshammiya, K.K, Kunal Ganjawala and Atif Aslam.
