Gunmaaster G9 has just dropped its first song, and it comes with a combination that instantly grabs attention. Titled ‘Afsaana Banaaya Aapne’, the romantic track brings Emraan Hashmi and Himesh Reshammiya together once again, while Asees Kaur joins Himesh on vocals. Emraan, meanwhile, shares the screen with Genelia Deshmukh for the first time, giving the song a fresh romantic pairing. The full song gives us a better look at the chemistry, music and mood that Gunmaaster G9 has in store. Now that the complete track is out, the nostalgia surrounding the reunion becomes one of its biggest talking points.
Emraan Hashmi And Genelia Deshmukh’s Fresh Chemistry
‘Afsaana Banaaya Aapne’ begins with a conversation between Emraan Hashmi and Genelia Deshmukh’s characters against the backdrop of Haridwar. Genelia’s character says, “Mat jodiye mujhse rishta, mere baare me tum kuch nahi jaante.”
Emraan’s character responds, “purani jaankaariya to company ko chahiye hoti hai, mohabbat to apni nayi daastaan likhti hai.”
The exchange immediately establishes the romantic side of the track. More importantly, Emraan and Genelia bring a fresh energy to the screen. This marks the first time the two actors are sharing the screen together, and their chemistry comes across naturally in the song.

The visual treatment also gives the track a different flavour. The Haridwar backdrop complements the romantic mood, while Himesh’s composition keeps the song rooted in the melodic style that audiences have associated with his work over the years.
Himesh Reshammiya’s Music Adds To The Nostalgia
The biggest emotional hook, however, is the reunion between Emraan Hashmi and Himesh Reshammiya. Their musical collaboration goes back to 2005, when they worked together on Aashiq Banaya Aapne. That collaboration went on to become a cult favourite and remains closely associated with Emraan’s early career.
‘Afsaana Banaaya Aapne’ does not attempt to simply recreate that earlier success. Instead, it uses the familiarity of the combination while creating a new romantic track for Gunmaaster G9. Himesh’s lyrics and composition have a soulful quality, while the vocals by Himesh and Asees Kaur give the song its romantic character.
Director Aditya Datt explains the effort that went into creating the soundtrack. He says,
“We worked on the music for more than eight-nine months. We all sat together, we jammed, we created and we wrote. That whole process has been superb. We really wanted to enjoy the music and make something we love. Deepakji has been instrumental in bringing us together, so we have to give him that.”
Emraan Hashmi Says The Song Is Not A Recreation Of The Past
For Emraan Hashmi, the reunion naturally comes with nostalgia, but the actor says the intention was never to repeat what they had done before. He says,
“There is a lot of nostalgia attached to Himesh, Aditya and me coming together again. But the idea was never to recreate the past. ‘Afsaana Banaaya Aapne’ has its own emotion and its own place in Gunmaaster G9. That is what makes this reunion exciting.”
His statement also captures what makes the song interesting. The familiar faces behind the music may remind audiences of an earlier era, but the track belongs to the world of Gunmaaster G9. Genelia Deshmukh is equally excited about the collaboration. She says,
“The song plays at a crucial point in the film and it spells magic. This is the first time I am teaming up with Emraan and what better way to do it than a Emraan and Himesh number in a film.”
Himesh Reshammiya On Creating The Gunmaaster G9 Soundtrack
Himesh Reshammiya believes the soundtrack has been designed to fit the film’s world while also offering strong standalone audio value. He says,
“The tracks of Gunmaaster G9 are completely in sync with the world of the film, but the audio value is taking the soundtrack to another level. To compose such great, audio-friendly tracks while being true to the story was a task. But God has been kind to bless me with these melodies as a singer and composer. Working with Aditya is always a pleasure, as he has a great understanding of music.”
That approach is evident in ‘Afsaana Banaaya Aapne’. The song carries the emotional weight of a romantic track but also serves a purpose within the larger narrative.
Gunmaaster G9 Release Date And Cast
Produced by Deepak Mukut, Hunar Mukut and Sangeeta Ahir, Gunmaaster G9 stars Emraan Hashmi, Genelia D’Souza, Aparshakti Khurana and Abhishek Singh. The film is directed by Aditya Datt and presented by Soham Rockstar Entertainment Pvt. Ltd.
Gunmaaster G9 is described as an action romance and is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on November 27, 2026. With ‘Afsaana Banaaya Aapne’, the film has brought together a combination that carries plenty of nostalgia while introducing a new pairing in Emraan Hashmi and Genelia Deshmukh.
The song does not try to live only on the memories of Aashiq Banaya Aapne. Instead, it gives Emraan and Himesh another musical chapter, this time with Genelia joining the equation. For listeners who remember their earlier collaboration, that familiarity will naturally add another layer to the experience.
