More details about Awarapan 2
Awarapan 2 is being directed by Nitin Kakkar. Speaking about the project, producer Vishesh Bhatt remarked, "Awarapan is a profound sentiment, one that is truly meant for the big screen. The film will feature magnificent filming locations, grand sequences, compelling characters, and excellent music. Emraan Hashmi fits perfectly into the character of Shivam. Now, with the addition of Disha Patani, the film has been infused with a renewed vitality."
About the 2007 release
Awarapan, a crime-action drama from 2007, featured Emraan Hashmi in an acclaimed role as Shivam, a hitman on a quest for redemption. Directed by Mohit Suri, the film stared Shriya Saran, Mrinalini Sharma and Ashutosh Rana too. Although it got positive reviews and is now a cult favorite, Awarapan didn't do well commercially when it first came out. Still, it's remembered for its touching story, good songs and Hashmi's intense acting.
