Emraan Hashmi is turning 46 today (March 24), and on his birthday, he has surprised his fans. The actor has announced Awarapan 2, the sequel of his 2007 film. The film, which also featured Shriya Saran and Mrinalini Sharma, was a box office failure, but with time it gained a cult status and the songs of Awarapan are still popular among the audience.

Official Announcement Drops

The actor made the announcement on social media about the sequel which will be out in April next year. He posted, "Bas mujhe kuch aur der zinda rakh… #Awarapan2 in cinemas, 3rd April 2026." Emraan posted a video that contains a few shots of Awarapan and at the end reveals that his character wakes up. So, for the ignorant, the actor's character Shivam dies in the end of Awarapan, and this leads us to think if he will be featured alive and the sequel will be carried further. But it is not yet known if the story will be a sequel or Awarapan 2 will be a spiritual follow-up to the first installment.

What to Expect?

Interestingly, last year itself, Emraan and Shriya appeared together in the series Showtime which was broadcast on Disney+ Hotstar. Even though they were not paired opposite to each other, the two shared a lot of scenes together and their fans were more than delighted to witness them in the show. Well, Emraan will feature as the male protagonist in Awarapan 2, but the producers have not yet confirmed the name of the female protagonist. So, will Shriya Saran make a comeback in sequel? Let's wait and watch! Apart from that, Emraan is preparing for the release of his film Ground Zero which will hit the screens in April this year. The trailer of the film will be along with Salman Khan starrer Sikandar.
