About ‘Awarapan 2’
Awarapan 2 is a direct sequel to Awarapan, which was directed by Mohit Suri. While the original film did not perform well at the box office when it was released, it later gained a strong following. Its songs such as Toh Phir Aao continue to remain popular. The sequel revolves around Shivam Pandit, played by Emraan Hashmi. Initially involved in the world of crime, Shivam eventually leaves that life behind and attempts to make a fresh start.
However, his new life takes an unexpected turn when several children are abducted in Thailand. Among the kidnapped children is a young girl whom he names Aaliya. The name carries deep emotional significance for Shivam, reminding him of a woman he once loved and lost.

Emraan called Awarapan 2 a “rare phenomenon” as it was billed as a sequel to its predecessor, which was released nearly 20 years ago but failed to find its audience in the theatres.
“There are films you work on, and then there are films you are genuinely proud to be a part of. Awarapan 2 belongs to the latter. It has become a rarest-of-rare phenomenon – an unprecedented feat. A film that didn’t find its audience two decades ago returning with a sequel, determined to rewrite history at the box office,” wrote Emraan Hashmi on Instagram.
