Riding high on the success of \'The Dirty Picture\', actor Emraan Hashmi has increased his remuneration.

"I have increased my rate but I cannot tell you the exact figure. It is a safe price, it is not a crazy price. I have worked in the office of a producer, so I know what happens when they (actors) overprice. So I know what that price should be and it keeps me in the industry for a long haul," Emraan told reporters here last night, after unveiling the first of his upcoming film, 'Shanghai'.

"I think as an actor I feel my rate should not burden the film. There are few actors, who charge more and then eventually it burdens the film, but I will never do that," the 32-year-old actor said.

Emraan has three releases lined up for this year, Mahesh Bhatt's crime thriller, 'Jannat 2' (May 4), Dibakar Banerjee's political thriller 'Shanghai' (June 8) and Vikram Bhatt's 3D horror film, 'Raaz 3' (August 31).

On his role in 'Shanghai' he said, "Dibakar has the ability to bring out the actor out of his comfort zone. And he made me eat lot of stuff, so that I become fat, have a paunch. Getting the physicality of the character was half the battle

won."
