2025 has turned out to be an exciting year for Hindi films, with a ton of theatrical releases happening in just the first couple of months. What’s really interesting is the rise of weekly re-releases, some of which have actually outperformed new films. Still, fans are craving more and are actively pushing for the return of some classic movies to theaters. One film that’s been at the top of the re-release wish list is the 2007 hit Awarapan, starring Emraan Hashmi. Fans have been calling for its return, and it looks like Hashmi and the Bhatts are taking it up a notch by announcing a sequel. If the rumors are true, Awarapan 2 is on the horizon.

Did Emraan Hashmi confirm that Awarapan 2 is happening?

You heard it right! Emraan Hashmi just dropped a new post on Instagram featuring a guy driving a motorboat into the unknown. The teaser builds up to a thrilling moment, hinting that it’s connected to the Awarapan universe. While we don’t have any official word on whether this is teasing Awarapan 2 or a re-release of the original, fans are buzzing with excitement, and the comments section is on fire!

In his Instagram post, Emraan Hashmi wrote, "Jumma Mubarak @VisheshFilms #MukeshBhatt @VisheshB7 #Awarapan." Although the caption doesn’t clearly confirm a sequel or a re-release, there’s one intriguing detail—Mohit Suri, who directed the 2007 film, isn’t tagged or mentioned at all. This has sparked rumors that Awarapan 2 might be a whole new take, possibly with a different director and cast.

Fans are buzzing with excitement, convinced that this is really Awarapan 2. One super pumped fan exclaimed, “Omgggg OMGGGGG Yessss Yessss yesssss !!!!!! This one is !!!!! Ohhhh!!!! So so exciting!!!! @emraanhashmi I can’t thank you enough for this Emraan!!!! #Awarapan #Awarapan2 #EmraanHashmi.” Another chimed in, “I really hope the songs are as amazing as the first. Awarapan has always been on my playlist.”

Looking back at the 2007 film, another fan reminisced, “Epic movie! I still remember watching it at Inox Nariman Point in 2007 with my then-girlfriend! I was 25 back then... Emraan's best performance and his most memorable one to date... great screenplay and Mohit Suri at his peak! Can’t wait for this... all the best!”

Even though Awarapan didn’t do well at the box office when it came out in 2007 and was labeled a flop, like many of Emraan Hashmi's films, its soundtrack was a huge success and is still considered one of the best. Over time, Awarapan has built a dedicated fanbase through satellite TV, solidifying its place as a cult classic.

Everyone's buzzing with excitement as we wait for the big announcement. Is it going to be a sequel or just a re-release? We’ll have to wait and see! Keep an eye on OTTplay for the latest news on this and all things streaming and movies.
