Emraan Hashmi is returning to the big screen as the iconic character Shivam Pandit in the upcoming film Awarapan 2. Marking 19 years since the release of the original, the makers released the official teaser for the upcoming romantic drama today.
The teaser offers a nostalgic yet intense look at the sequel. It opens with Emraan Hashmi’s character riding a bike while delivering a powerful dialogue, “Kuch logo ki kahaniya unki marzi se khatam nahi hoti, unki kahani, dusro ke liye likhi jaati hai.” The visuals also feature a moment where he pays tribute to Aaliyah Hamid, the character played by Shriya Saran in the 2007 film.
As a new rendition of the iconic song Toh Phir Aao plays in the background, Emraan’s character says, “Dard se purana rishta hai mera.” The teaser provides glimpses of the new cast members joining the project, including Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi. It concludes with an impactful line delivered by Emraan, “Iss baar yaa toh yeh awarapan khatam hoga ya main.”
The original Awarapan, directed by Mohit Suri, was released on June 29, 2007. While it did not receive much appreciation at the time of its release, the film went on to be loved dearly over the years, with its soundtrack remaining highly relatable. The first film followed the story of Shivam Pandit, a contract killer tasked with watching his boss’ mistress. After discovering she is a victim of sex trafficking, he chooses to help her, a decision that forces him to confront his violent past and risk everything for her freedom.
Awarapan 2 stars Emraan Hashmi reprising his memorable role, alongside Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi in key roles. Produced by Vishesh Films and directed by Nitin Kakkar, the film will release in theatres during the Independence Day weekend on August 14.
