Did Emraan Hashmi confirm Awarapan 2? Fans are going crazy with the latest tease - Details inside

2025 has been a fascinating year for Hindi cinema, marking an abundance of theatrical releases in the first two months alone. What’s even more intriguing is the trend of weekly re-releases, some of which have performed even better than fresh releases. However, fans are still hungry for more and have been actively demanding the return of several iconic films to the big screen. One of the most requested movies for a re-release is the 2007 Emraan Hashmi-starrer Awarapan. Fans have been urging the makers to bring it back to theaters, but it seems Hashmi and the Bhatts have taken things a step further by announcing a sequel. If the buzz is to be believed, Awarapan 2 is on its way!

Did Emraan Hashmi Confirm Awarapan 2?

You read that right. Today, Emraan Hashmi shared a new post on Instagram that begins with a man steering a motorboat into oblivion. The teaser builds up to a dramatic moment, revealing that this belongs to the Awarapan universe. While there is no official confirmation on whether this hints at Awarapan 2 or a re-release of the original film, fans are convinced that a sequel announcement is imminent. And the frenzy in the comments section says it all! 

Sharing the post on Instagram, Emraan Hashmi wrote, "Jumma Mubarak @VisheshFilms #MukeshBhatt @VisheshB7 #Awarapan." While the caption doesn’t explicitly confirm a sequel or a re-release, one interesting detail stands out—Mohit Suri, the director of the 2007 film, is neither tagged nor mentioned. This has led to speculation that Awarapan 2 could be a fresh take, possibly with a new director and cast.

However, fans are already convinced that this is indeed Awarapan 2, and their excitement is off the charts. One enthusiastic fan commented, “Omgggg OMGGGGG Yessss Yessss yesssss !!!!!! This one is !!!!! Ohhhh!!!! So so exciting!!!! @emraanhashmi Can't thank you enough for this Emraan!!!! #Awarapan #Awarapan2 #EmraanHashmi.” Another added, “Hope the songs in this one are as good as the first. Awarapan has always stayed on my playlist.”

Reminiscing about the 2007 film, another fan shared, “Epic movie! Still recall watching it at Inox Nariman Point in 2007 with my then-GF! I was 25 then... Emraan's best performance and his most memorable one till date... great screenplay and Mohit Suri at his prime! Can't wait for this... all the best!”

Directed by Mohit Suri, Awarapan didn’t make much of a splash at the box office upon its release in 2007 and was considered a flop. However, like most Emraan Hashmi films, its music album was a massive hit and remains one of the best to this day. Over the years, Awarapan has garnered a loyal fanbase through satellite TV, cementing its status as a cult favorite.

With anticipation running high, all eyes are now on the official announcement. Will it be a sequel or a re-release? Only time will tell! Stay tuned to OTTplay for more updates on this and everything else from the world of streaming and films.
