In “Awarapan 2,” Disha Patani starred alongside Emraan Hashmi in the action-drama sequel. While Emraan reprised his role as Shivam Pandit, Disha played the film’s female lead, Zara Singh. Her character was portrayed as a trained cello player who came from a gangster family. The movie was released theatrically on August 14, 2026.
Recently, Emraan Hashmi opened up about the journey of Awarapan as the franchise made its return with the much-anticipated sequel, “Awarapan 2.” The ‘Murder’ actor spoke about the significance of revisiting the franchise, recalling that the original film struggled to connect with audiences when it was released nearly two decades ago.
Calling the sequel’s return a “rarest-of-rare phenomenon” and an “unprecedented feat,” Emraan expressed pride in being part of a project that has received another opportunity to reach viewers.
An excerpt from his note read, “There are films you work on, and then there are films you are genuinely proud to be a part of. Awarapan 2 belongs to the latter. It has become a rarest-of-rare phenomenon — an unprecedented feat. A film that didn’t find its audience two decades ago returning with a sequel, determined to rewrite history at the box office.”
“An emotionally charged action musical, mounted on a stunning visual scale and powered by incredibly diverse, timeless music, this is a film I truly believe is best experienced with an audience in cinemas. At the heart of it all is Vishesh, the creator of the world of Awarapan.”
