Emraan Hashmi is currently making headlines with his film 'They Call Him OG', starring South superstar and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan. It is worth noting that Pawan and Emraan's film is performing exceptionally well at the box office. Amidst all this, Emraan has delivered another piece of good news to his fans.
After nearly two decades, a love story that may not have set the box office on fire upon its release but has garnered a significant fan following over time, is now set to get a sequel. Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi has commenced shooting for the sequel of his cult film 'Awarapan'. The shooting for 'Awarapan 2' has begun in Bangkok, and it will feature Emraan alongside Disha Patani in the lead roles.
You might recall that 'Awarapan', released in 2007, received positive reactions from fans but didn't perform exceptionally well at the box office. However, the film's music was a hit. Songs like 'Tera Mera Rishta' and 'Toh Phir Aao', sung by Mustafa Zahid, still feature in many playlists.
This film is considered one of Emraan Hashmi's best films, and the demand for its re-release has been steadily growing. It was an uncredited remake of the South Korean film 'A Bittersweet Life', in which Hashmi played a powerful gangster role. It is noteworthy that the direction of 'Awarapan 2' will be helmed by Nitin Kakkar, known for his successful films like 'Filmistaan' and 'Jawaani Jaaneman'.
Emraan Hashmi is currently enjoying his recent success. His brief yet memorable role in 'The Bad Boys of Bollywood' garnered significant attention and earned him widespread praise. In this context, the return of 'Awarapan 2' is no less than a gift for his fans. It will be interesting to see if this sequel, arriving after nearly two decades, can maintain the magic of its predecessor and also make its mark at the box office.
