Emraan Hashmi is busy shooting for Awarapan 2 after gaining love from The Ba***ds of Bollywood.

Unauthorised images and videos from a Rajasthan shoot surfaced online, following which the makers quickly took steps to restrict access to prevent leaks.

Awarapan 2 makers tighten security on set

Mid-Day reported that security has been tightened at Awarapan 2 filming locations in and around Sambhar, Rajasthan, as Emraan Hashmi's look surfaced online without approval. The look reveal was never meant to be released this early, according to the report. 

“After the photos were leaked, access had to be tightened. Phones are now restricted on set, and movement around the location is being closely monitored and certain areas have been cordoned off. Multiple terrace-sequence videos were leaked by locals," the report mentioned. 

The restriction comes at a delicate moment for the film, which is already under scrutiny online because of rumours that a Pakistani music composer is involved in the soundtrack. 

“The team wants the content to speak, not controversies. Music is integral to the film and Pritam had done the original score. The producers are mindful of the law of the land and are baffled by the rumours,” the source added.

“The shoot has been fast-tracked, and the team will wrap this schedule within a week, with local police deployed for protection,” the source concluded.
