Awarapan 2 Teaser: Emraan Hashmi AKA Shivam Is Back With Old Pain And New Promise The official teaser for Awarapan 2, starring Emraan Hashmi as Shivam, was released on the 19th anniversary of the original 2007 film Awarapan. Directed by Mohit Suri, the first installment of the series was produced by Vishesh Films and became a cult favorite despite its initial lack of critical acclaim. The sequel, now directed by Nitin Kakkar, is set for a theatrical release on August 14, 2026. The teaser, which revives the emotional core of the original story, introduces Hashmi’s character as someone grappling with unresolved pain and a renewed determination to confront his past. In the teaser, Hashmi is shown paying homage at the grave of Aaliyah Hamid, a character previously portrayed by Shriya Saran in the first film. The scene is accompanied by Hashmi’s narration, which includes the line, “Dard se purana rishta hai mera” (I have an old connection with pain), hinting at the character’s unresolved trauma. The teaser also features lines like, “Kuch logon ki kahaniya unki marzi se khatam nahi hoti; unki kahani doosron ke liye likhi jaati hai” (Some people’s stories don’t end with their consent; they are written for others), suggesting a narrative that delves into themes of legacy, justice, and personal redemption. The sequel introduces new and returning cast members, including Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi, who are depicted as central figures in the story. While Shriya Saran’s potential return as a cameo is a topic of speculation, the teaser does not confirm her involvement. The film’s tone is marked by dark visuals and silhouettes, with the recurring use of the song “Toh Phir Aao” from the original soundtrack, which bridges the past and present.#emraan_hashmi #shivam #mohit_suri #nitin_kakkar #vishesh_films
