Directed by Nitin Kakkar and produced by Vishesh Bhatt, Awarapan 2 brings Emraan Hashmi back as Shivam Pandit, one of the most memorable characters of his career.
The film also features Shabana Azmi, Disha Patani and Suvinder Vicky in important roles. While the sequel has received mixed-to-positive responses from audiences and critics, Emraan Hashmi’s performance and the film’s overall tone have emerged as some of its key talking points.
The original Awarapan had a modest theatrical run, opening at just ₹79 lakh and collecting around ₹2.88 crore over its first weekend. In comparison, Awarapan 2 has already surpassed its lifetime collection on day one, giving the franchise a dramatic turnaround at the box office.
