In what is shaping up to be the season of sequels in Bollywood, Emraan Hashmi is all set to bring back one of his most iconic roles in the highly anticipated Awarapan 2. A sequel to the 2007 cult classic Awarapan, the film is generating significant buzz in the tinsel town, and it’s no surprise why. Fans of the original will recall the deep, brooding character of Shivam, portrayed by Hashmi, whose journey blended romance, drama, and action, leaving an indelible mark on Bollywood cinema.
Hashmi took to his social media on his birthday yesterday, to drop a teaser for the film, sending his fans into a frenzy. The short yet powerful video begins by revisiting moments from the original film, with his voiceover recounting the past. As bullets fly in slow motion, the scene cuts to the present day, where Emraan’s character opens his eyes, seemingly resurrected, as the haunting words, “Kisi aur ki zindagi ke liye marna hi meri manzil hai” (To lay my life for someone else is my destiny) echo in the background. Adding a sentimental touch, the song ‘Tera Mera Rishta’ from the first film plays, reminding viewers of the emotional depths the movie explored.
Along with the teaser, Emraan posted a caption that reads, “Bas mujhe kuch aur der zinda rakh” (Keep me alive for some more time). This cryptic message hints at the continuation of Shivam’s tragic and intense journey, making fans even more eager to see what lies ahead.
