About Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan

Fans were also moved by the film's soul-stirring soundtrack. Pritam wrote the songs for the movie, which was produced by Mukesh Bhatt and is still remembered today.

Emraan Hashmi recounted his tale in gloomy tones and silhouettes, bringing back memories of the past. Shabana Azmi and Disha Patani will be seen essaying important roles in the sequel.
