In a recent interview with News18 Showsha, Emraan Hashmi talked about how his film Awarapan’s craze had built over time. He said that the audience’s demand for a sequel has been there for 15 years. 

Recalling a fun story, the actor shared that a fan approached him in Dubai about six months ago and he had an Awarapan tattoo, featuring a pigeon and freedom. Emraan mentioned that he then texted Vishesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt, telling them that they were doing ‘something right.’

Coming to the work on Awarapan 2, Emraan Hashmi stated, “We’ve been working on the script for almost a couple of years.” He said they didn’t want to make a sequel just to make one.

When asked when the shoot would begin, Emraan revealed, “We’re starting... so far July end is when we’re going to start.”
