Actor Emraan Hashmi wraps shooting of 'Awarapan 2'
Mumbai, June 4
The makers of Emraan Hashmi's much awaited upcoming film 'Awarapan 2' have announced the wrap of the film's shooting on Thursday.
Vishesh Films took to their Instagram handle to announce the film's wrap, a moment fans had been looking forward to, as the journey towards the sequel to one of Bollywood's romantic thrillers draws closer.
In the photo, Emraan Hashmi was seen holding the film's clapboard, announcing the wrap of the movie.
Directed by Nitin Kakkar, the sequel aims to build on the emotional depth of the original while introducing a fresh cinematic approach. Disha Patani will also play a prominent role in the film.
Producer Vishesh Bhatt underlined the scale and emotional core of the project, stating, "Awarapan is an emotion so large that it's meant for the big screen. It also presents exotic settings and large scale sequences but fundamentally it's built on our core principles of layered storytelling with powerful characters and rich music. Emraan felt the angst of Shivam so deeply that he stepped into character in a heartbeat. And with Disha Patani joining us, the world of the film opened up to new possibilities," in a press note by the makers.
The sequel continues Vishesh Films' collaboration with Sony Music India. The original 'Awarapan', released nearly 19 years ago, remains widely regarded for its tragic narrative and memorable soundtrack.
Awarapan 2 will be in cinemas worldwide on August 14, 2026.

19 years, wow! I remember watching Awarapan with my college friends, crying over that tragic ending 😢. This sequel has a lot to live up to. Disha Patani is a good addition, but Emraan's intensity is what made the original unforgettable.
Honestly, why do we need a sequel to every good film? Original was a classic. But if they're keeping the same emotional depth and not turning it into a typical masala movie, I'm willing to give it a chance. Fingers crossed!
Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani pairing sounds fresh! The music in the original was legendary – 'Tera Mera Rishta' still gives me chills. Hope the sequel's soundtrack matches that magic. August 2026 is too far though! 🎬
Vishesh Films knows their craft – they gave us classics like Jannat and Murder. But Awarapan is special because of its tragic vibe. Nitin Kakkar is a good director, let's see if he can capture that same angst. Emraan will nail it, no doubt.
Interesting to see Bollywood reviving old classics. The original Awarapan was quite popular among Indian diaspora for its music. Hope they don't just rely on nostalgia but bring something new to the table. Disha Patani will add glamour for sure.
