Emraan Hashmi has given fans fresh reason to celebrate after hinting that Awarapan 3 could be on the horizon. The actor dropped the tease while visiting a Mumbai theatre with co-star Disha Patani during the promotion of Awarapan 2, sparking loud cheers from the audience.
Emraan Hashmi Thanks Fans For Bringing Awarapan Back
Nearly two decades after first playing Shivam Pandit, Emraan returned to theatres and interacted with fans during the interval of the action thriller. He thanked audiences for their continued support, saying the franchise now belonged as much to its fans as to its makers.
Speaking to the crowd about revisiting the story with greater scale, action and emotion, Emraan said, “This is a film which belongs to the fans more than the makers, which is why we have returned. We have made this journey even more thrilling with more action and emotions. On Friday, the film will be out of our hands and in yours.”
When a fan declared that the film was set to become a super-hit, the actor urged the audience to hold their excitement until they had watched the rest of it.
“The movie is not over yet; the second half is better.”
Awarapan 3 Hint Sends Fans Into A Frenzy
It was Emraan’s final remark that truly electrified the theatre. As he expressed hope that audiences would enjoy the film, the actor also appeared to suggest that Shivam Pandit’s journey may not end with the current sequel.
“We hope you enjoy the entire film, and hopefully, Awarapan 3 very soon.”
The brief hint was enough to send fans cheering and fuel speculation about a possible third instalment of the franchise.
