Emraan Hashmi is celebrating the theatrical success of Awarapan 2 with a heartfelt message for audiences. The actor, who has returned as Shivam in the sequel, has now called the film his “best film yet” and urged fans to experience it on the big screen.
The Nitin Kakkar directorial, which released in theatres on August 14, has continued its strong run at the box office. After 18 days, Awarapan 2 has collected Rs 156.19 crore net in India and has crossed the significant Rs 200 crore mark worldwide. The film has now reached a worldwide gross collection of Rs 214.80 crore.
Emraan Hashmi Calls Awarapan 2 His Best Film Yet
Emraan Hashmi took to Instagram today to reflect on his experience of being part of Awarapan 2. Sharing a picture with Vishesh Bhatt, the actor spoke about what makes the sequel particularly special for him.
He began by explaining that some films simply become part of an actor’s professional journey, while others leave a deeper impact.
“There are films you work on, and then there are films you are genuinely proud to be a part of. Awarapan 2 belongs to the latter.”
Emraan also highlighted the unusual journey of the franchise. The original Awarapan developed a loyal following over the years, despite not finding the same audience at the time of its original release. The sequel has now managed to turn that story around at the box office. He wrote,
“It has become a rarest-of-rare phenomenon an unprecedented feat. A film that didn’t find its audience two decades ago returning with a sequel, determined to rewrite history at the box office.”
The actor’s statement comes at a time when Awarapan 2 has already crossed Rs 200 crore worldwide. The film’s theatrical performance has added another important chapter to the journey of the franchise.
Emraan Praises The Film’s Music, Scale And Theatrical Experience
Apart from its box office performance, Emraan also spoke about the overall experience of Awarapan 2. He described the film as an emotional action musical and praised its visual scale and music. He wrote,
“An emotionally charged action musical, mounted on a stunning visual scale and powered by incredibly diverse, timeless music, this is a film I truly believe is best experienced with an audience, in cinemas.”
The theatrical experience is clearly important to Emraan. Rather than simply celebrating the numbers, the actor has encouraged audiences to watch the film in theatres and experience its action, emotions and music with a crowd.
The film stars Emraan Hashmi in the lead role, alongside Disha Patani, Shabana Azmi, Puran Gabbi and others. The combination of action, emotion and music has been an important part of the film’s presentation.
Emraan Hashmi Credits Vishesh Bhatt For The Film’s Vision
Emraan Hashmi’s note also puts the spotlight on producer Vishesh Bhatt, whom he credits with shaping the world of Awarapan. For the actor, Bhatt’s conviction played an important role in bringing the sequel to the screen.
“At the heart of it all is Vishesh, the creator of the world of Awarapan. His vision and unwavering conviction shaped everything and everyone. I’m so glad we took the leap together and made this journey. To be part of a film with such an incredible cast, musical genius, and creative brilliance has been super special.”
The comment reflects the actor’s appreciation for the creative team behind the sequel. After the long gap between the two films, bringing Awarapan back was itself an ambitious decision. The response to Awarapan 2 has now given that decision a major box-office payoff.
For Emraan Hashmi, the film’s success is therefore about more than just the numbers. His message focuses equally on the people behind it and the experience of making the film.
Awarapan 2 Crosses Rs 200 Crore Worldwide
Awarapan 2 has now reached Rs 214.80 crore in worldwide gross collections. In India, the film has earned Rs 156.19 crore net in 18 days. The numbers mark a significant theatrical run for the sequel. The film had to carry the legacy of the original while also establishing itself as a new chapter in the story. Its continued performance has allowed the franchise to reach a much larger commercial milestone this time around. With the film still playing in theatres, Emraan is asking audiences not to wait too long before experiencing it on the big screen.
Emraan Hashmi Urges Fans To Watch The Film In Theatres
Ending his note, Emraan made it clear that he considers Awarapan 2 his most special work so far. His final message was a direct appeal to fans to experience the film in cinemas. He concluded,
“This is My Best Film Yet. So before it’s too late, go experience Awarapan 2 in theatres now. Feel the emotional roller coaster. Let the music take over. And celebrate it the way it was meant to be celebrated, Big Screen, Big Sound Cinematic Experience.”
For an actor who has been part of the Hindi film industry for years, calling a project his “best film yet” is a strong statement. But with Awarapan 2 crossing Rs 200 crore worldwide and continuing its theatrical run, Emraan Hashmi clearly has plenty to celebrate.
The sequel has not only brought him back to the world of Awarapan, but has also turned into a major box-office success. Now, the actor wants audiences to experience that journey where he believes it belongs — in theatres, with the big screen and big sound.
