Released in 2007, the original film Awarapan starred Emraan Hashmi, Shriya Saran, Mrinalini Sharma, and Ashutosh Rana. The film became a fan-favourite, thanks to Emraan Hashmi's portrayal of Shivam, a henchman working for a Hong Kong-based gangster named Malik (played by Ashutosh Rana). Shivam was assigned a mission to keep an eye on his boss’s mistress, Reema (Shriya Saran). However, he defies Malik’s orders to kill her and instead helps her reunite with her lover, embarking on a dangerous journey of redemption. Disha Patani is expected to join the star cast of Awarapan 2. Reportedly, the film is scheduled to hit theatres on April 3, 2026.

Meanwhile, Emraan recently made a special appearance in Aryan Khan's Ba***ds Of Bollywood. He will next be seen in Haq alongside Yami Gautam.
