Emraan Hashmi Confirms Awarapan 2 Was Not Postponed, Released as Scheduled

Emraan Hashmi Sets the Record Straight on Awarapan 2 Release

Emraan Hashmi’s sequel, Awarapan 2, was released in cinemas on August 14, coinciding with the Independence Day weekend. This date saw the film sharing screens with Sunny Deol’s Batwara 1947, creating a notable box office clash. While the original Awarapan did not perform well commercially, it later achieved cult status among fans, with Shriya Saran as the female lead in the first installment.

In the weeks leading up to the release, speculation on social media suggested that Awarapan 2 might be postponed. Addressing these rumors directly, Emraan Hashmi clarified during a live interaction with fans that the film would not be delayed. He expressed his disappointment regarding the spread of misinformation, stating that such baseless rumors were gaining unnecessary traction online.

Directed by Nitin Kakkar, the sequel features Disha Patani as the new female lead. The production house behind the project has not been named in the available information. The film’s trailer was also announced to be launched soon, adding to the anticipation at the time.

The Independence Day weekend release placed Awarapan 2 in a competitive slot, reflecting confidence from the makers despite the online chatter. Emraan Hashmi’s direct engagement with fans helped settle doubts and ensured the film’s arrival as originally scheduled.
