Emraan Hashmi fans have a major reason to celebrate as the much-anticipated sequel to Awarapan has been officially announced.
Titled Awarapan 2, the film is slated to hit the big screens on April 3, 2026. The announcement came on a special day, as Hashmi, who turned 46 today, took to Instagram to share the exciting news along with a teaser.
The actor posted a cryptic yet powerful caption: “Bas mujhe kuch aur der zinda rakh… #Awarapan2 in cinemas, 3rd April 2026.” The teaser hints at an intense, emotional, and action-packed journey, staying true to the essence of the original film.
Produced under the Vishesh Films banner, Awarapan 2 brings back the same gritty, soul-stirring storytelling that made the 2007 cult classic a fan favorite. While details about the plot and cast remain under wraps, the announcement has already sparked immense excitement among fans, who have been waiting for a sequel for nearly two decades.
The original Awarapan, directed by Mohit Suri, featured Hashmi in one of his most memorable roles, portraying a gangster on a path of redemption. Known for its hard-hitting storyline, haunting music, and raw emotions, the film became a cult hit over the years. If ‘Awarapan 2’ follows the same path, audiences can expect another gripping cinematic experience.
With the release date locked for April 3, 2026, anticipation is at an all-time high. As fans eagerly await more updates, one thing is certain Emraan Hashmi is ready to make a power-packed return to the screen with ‘Awarapan 2’.
