Directed by Nitin Kakkar, ‘Awarapan 2’ will continue the story of Shivam Pandit while bringing a new chapter to the franchise.
The original ‘Awarapan,’ directed by Mohit Suri, was released on June 29, 2007. Starring Emraan Hashmi and Shriya Saran, the film did not perform well at the box office upon release but gradually went on to earn a strong cult following among fans.
Its music, especially tracks like ‘Toh Phir Aao,’ continues to remain popular and is still widely played in cars, parties, and playlists even years later.
The story of the first film follows Shivam Pandit, a contract killer who is asked to keep an eye on his boss’s mistress. After learning that she is a victim of sex trafficking, he decides to help reunite her with the man she loves.
‘Awarapan 2’ is scheduled to release in cinemas worldwide on August 14, 2026. (ANI)
