Emraan Hashmi Awarapan 2 – Why it’s happening despite the flop
Emraan Hashmi Awarapan 2 has officially started shooting in Bangkok, surprising many fans. The first film, released in 2007, was made on a budget of ₹18 crore and earned only ₹23 crore. It was declared a flop at the box office. Yet, the makers are investing in a second part with Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani in lead roles.
Awarapan’s cult following over time
Even though Awarapan failed commercially, the film built a strong fanbase over the years. Emraan Hashmi’s intense performance and the powerful storyline struck a chord with audiences. With time, Awarapan turned into a cult classic, especially among fans of Emraan’s emotional and action-driven roles. This cult status has created demand for a sequel.
Bads of Bollywood reference made it trend again
The Netflix web series Bads of Bollywood further revived interest in Emraan Hashmi. A dialogue from the series, “Akkha Bollywood ek taraf aur Emraan Hashmi ek taraf,” went viral, reminding fans of his unique screen presence. This renewed buzz has played a big role in bringing Awarapan 2 back to life. (Emraan Hashmi Bads of Bollywood : The OG Actor Trending Again)

If true, this shows that filmmakers are banking on Emraan’s loyal audience and his rising popularity after a few quiet years in Bollywood.
Conclusion
The journey of Emraan Hashmi Awarapan 2 proves that box office numbers do not always define a movie’s legacy. A film that flopped in 2007 is now getting a sequel in 2025 because of its cult fanbase and Emraan’s strong comeback. With Disha Patani joining the cast, expectations are high that Awarapan 2 will deliver both emotion and style on screen.
