Emraan Hashmi is all set to return to one of his most iconic roles, as he announced the release date of Awarapan 2 on Monday. The sequel to the 2007 cult film Awarapan will arrive in cinemas on April 3, 2026, the actor revealed via Instagram on his 46th birthday, along with a teaser of the film.

Hashmi, who turned 46 today, marked the occasion by unveiling the teaser and the release date on his Instagram handle. Captioning the post with a powerful line from the film, he wrote: “Bas mujhe kuch aur der zinda rakh… #Awarapan2 in cinemas, 3rd April 2026.”

Directed by Mohit Suri and produced under the Vishesh Films banner, Awarapan starred Hashmi alongside Shriya Saran and became a significant part of the 2000s pop culture wave. Known for its haunting soundtrack and brooding narrative, the film cemented Hashmi’s status as a romantic anti-hero.

The confirmation of a sequel comes after weeks of speculation, which were sparked earlier this month when Hashmi posted an animated teaser hinting at the film’s return.

In recent years, Hashmi has leaned back into mainstream cinema. In 2023, he notably played the antagonist in Tiger 3. He is also making his Telugu debut in the upcoming action film OG, co-starring Pawan Kalyan and Priyanka Mohan. Additionally, Hashmi will feature in G2, the sequel to Goodachari (2018), alongside Adivi Sesh, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Madhu Shalini.

Hashmi was last seen in the web series Showtime, alongside Naseeruddin Shah, Mahima Makwana, and Mouni Roy.

Expanding his footprint in digital content, Hashmi is also headlining Ground Zero, a Kashmir-set BSF drama series.

With Awarapan 2, Hashmi’s return to one of his most-loved characters has sparked nostalgia among fans and added another big project to the actor’s packed slate.

Salman Khan has finally addressed the buzz surrounding his recent clean-shaven appearance that left fans worried about his health and age. The actor, who is known for his fitness and signature style, revealed that his seemingly aged look was due to exhaustion from long shooting schedules for his upcoming film Sikandar.

At the trailer launch event in Mumbai, Salman clarified, “Kabhi 5-6 din se sote nahi toh log photo daal ke bol dete hain. But I wanted to show them ki abhi bhi hai.” He emphasized that his tired appearance was a result of not sleeping for several days and assured fans that he still has the energy and drive they admire him for.

Long hours and injuries on ‘Sikandar’ set

Khan also revealed that he suffered two broken ribs while filming Sikandar, yet director AR Murugadoss pushed him through 14-hour-long shifts. “Murugadoss kept pushing me even in action sequences. When the going gets tough, the tough get going,” he said, highlighting the physical toll the film has taken on him.

Responds to 31-year age gap with co-star Rashmika Mandanna

Another major talking point was the age gap between Salman, 58, and his Sikandar co-star Rashmika Mandanna, 27. Addressing this, the actor stated, “Heroine ke father ko problem nahi hain… pati ka permission toh mil hi jayega na?” His humorous yet confident response seemed to dismiss the criticism surrounding the casting.

‘Sikandar’ is slated for release on Eid, March 30, and marks a big-screen return for Salman, who continues to draw massive public interest — whether for his roles, appearance, or on-screen pairings.
