Vishesh Films has officially announced the release date of Awarapan 2, the sequel to the popular cult film Awarapan. The film will release in cinemas worldwide on 14th August 2026. This project brings together producer Vishesh Bhatt and actor Emraan Hashmi once again.
On the same day, Vishesh Bhatt, Emraan Hashmi, and Disha Patani shared a symbolic image on social media, giving a glimpse into the film and confirming the release date.
Talking about the film, Vishesh Bhatt said, “Awarapan is an emotion so large that it’s meant for the big screen. It also presents exotic settings and large scale sequences but fundamentally it’s built on our core principles of layered storytelling with powerful characters and rich music. Emraan felt the angst of Shivam so deeply that he stepped into character in a heartbeat. And with Disha Patani joining us, the world of the film opened up to new possibilities.”
The film also marks Disha Patani’s first collaboration with Vishesh Films. She is known for her roles in films like Malang, Baaghi 2, MS Dhoni The Untold Story, and Kalki 2898 AD.
Awarapan 2 is directed by Nitin Kakkar, who is known for Filmistan. The story is written by Bilal Siddiqui, known for his work on Bads of Bollywood. The film is created and produced by Vishesh Bhatt.
At present, the film is in the final stage of production in Mumbai. More details about the story and other cast members are expected to be shared closer to the release date.
