Milestone for Hashmi
Awarapan 2 has become Emraan Hashmi's first ₹100 crore solo-lead film. The milestone marks a significant career transition for Hashmi. He previously featured in Rs 100-crore blockbusters such as Tiger 3 and They Call Him OG.
The 2007 original film underperformed in theatres. However, the movie slowly built a dedicated cult following over the subsequent years, driven by its popular soundtrack and emotional narrative.
The nostalgia factor helped in the sequel's commercial success. Directed by Nitin Kakkar, the movie opened to positive reviews, with fans heaping praise on Hashmi and lauding the music.
Alongside Hashmi, the film also starred Disha Patani, Shabana Azmi, Survinder Vicky and Puran Gabbi in significant roles.
