About Awarapan 2

In March this year, on his birthday, Emraan Hashmi announced the sequel to Awarapan. The teaser, featuring his character from the 2007 film, standing on a boat looking at the sun setting behind the city’s skyline, went viral in no time. The song ‘Tera Mera Rishta’ playing in the background lefts fans thrilled. Emraan also revealed that the film will be hitting theatres on April 3, 2026.

While speaking with News18 Showsha earlier, Emraan said, “We’ve been working on the script of the sequel for almost a couple of years. We didn’t want to make a sequel just for the sake of it. It just so happened that we completed working on that script this year. Imagine the kind of draw the film had after its theatrical run.”

He further added, “Awarapan picked up over time through the internet, YouTube, satellite and Torrent. That’s how it developed a huge fan-base. It bears testament to the fact that even a theatrical film isn’t just limited to the cinemas. The trajectory of a film is sometimes very different. If it is good, people will end up consuming it even after it leaves theatres.”
