After years of fan-driven anticipation, the cult classic Awarapan is finally getting a sequel. Nearly two decades after the film left a lasting impression on audiences with its powerful story, unforgettable music, and Emraan Hashmi’s iconic portrayal of Shivam, Awarapan 2 has officially gone on floors.
The sequel is being directed by Nitin Kakkar and produced by Vishesh Films, which is yet another installment in the hit partnership between the production house and Emraan Hashmi. With a history of creating back-to-back blockbusters like Murder, Jannat, Raaz, and Gangster, this combination is ready to create its trademark magic once again.
Initially planned as a birthday gift to Emraan Hashmi, the project is now going full force. Helmed by Nitin Kakkar and written by Bilal Siddiqui, the first shooting schedule of the film has started in Bangkok.
Awarapan 2 vows to continue Shivam’s odyssey of love, tragedy, and redemption with the same vigor and emotional intensity that made the first film a cult classic. Choked with brutal action, heart-stirring music, and gritty drama, the sequel is set to pay homage to the spirit of the first while presenting a new story.

Mark your calendars—Awarapan 2 is all set to release in theaters on April 3, 2026. This one’s not a sequel—it’s an ode to the fans who made Awarapan all about itself. Prepare for an emotional, action-filled ride all over again.
