Emraan Hashmi Isn’t Slowing Down! ‘Gunmaster G9’ Teaser Drops Tomorrow as ‘Awarapan 2’ Eyes ₹200 Crore

Emraan Hashmi appears to be making the most of his renewed box-office momentum. With Awarapan 2 continuing its strong theatrical run, attention is already shifting towards the actor’s next project, Gunmaster G9.

The makers of Gunmaster G9 have announced that the film’s first teaser will be unveiled tomorrow, giving audiences their first proper glimpse of Emraan’s next big-screen outing.

The upcoming film also stars Genelia Deshmukh and Aparshakti Khurana, making its first promotional asset particularly interesting as Emraan rides high on the response to Awarapan 2.

‘Gunmaster G9’ teaser arrives at the perfect time

The timing of the teaser announcement could hardly have been better.

After years in which his films struggled to make a major impact at the ticket windows, 2026 has brought Emraan Hashmi back into the box-office conversation in a big way.

Awarapan 2, a sequel to his much-loved 2007 film Awarapan, has successfully tapped into the nostalgia surrounding the actor while also attracting audiences looking for an old-school romantic action drama.

Now, with renewed interest around Emraan, Gunmaster G9 will attempt to carry that momentum forward.

‘Awarapan 2’ inches closer to ₹200 crore

According to the available box-office figures, Awarapan 2 has collected approximately ₹192.80 crore worldwide within 10 days of its theatrical release.

That puts the film just over ₹7 crore away from the ₹200-crore mark, making the milestone increasingly within reach if the movie maintains its momentum at the box office.

Crossing ₹200 crore would add another significant achievement to Emraan’s comeback and underline the continuing audience interest in the Awarapan franchise.

Nostalgia becomes Emraan Hashmi’s biggest strength

A major part of the response to Awarapan 2 has been driven by viewers who grew up watching Emraan Hashmi’s films during the 2000s.

The original Awarapan, released in 2007, developed a strong following over the years, particularly for its emotional storyline, music and Emraan’s portrayal of the brooding Shivam Pandit.

The sequel appears to have successfully brought back many of the ingredients audiences associate with that era romance, tragedy, action, memorable music and Emraan’s intense screen presence.

A review by Hindustan Times also highlighted the nostalgic appeal of the sequel, noting that Hashmi delivers the brooding intensity and effortless cool that helped establish him as a star. The review described the movie as having an unmistakable old-school charm, particularly for viewers who grew up with his music and romantic crime dramas.

Can ‘Gunmaster G9’ continue Emraan Hashmi’s winning run?

That is now the big question.

While Awarapan 2 benefits from the legacy and nostalgia attached to an established film, Gunmaster G9 will have to create its own identity.

The presence of Genelia Deshmukh and Aparshakti Khurana alongside Emraan adds further curiosity to the project, but much will depend on what the makers reveal with the first teaser.

For Emraan, however, the timing could prove crucial. Instead of allowing the excitement around Awarapan 2 to cool down, the makers of his next film are putting Gunmaster G9 in front of audiences while the actor is once again commanding attention at the box office.

With Awarapan 2 now knocking on the door of the ₹200-crore club and the Gunmaster G9 teaser just a day away, Emraan Hashmi’s 2026 comeback story may only be getting started.
