Visesh Bhatt announces Awarapan 2's release date

Today, Vishesh Bhatt, Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani took to social media to offer fans a symbolic image into the world of Awarapan 2- marking 14th August 2026 firmly on the calendar.

Out of the three photos shared, the first image partially shows Disha Patani's arms as she releases a white dove into the air, against the backdrop of the blue sunny sky. She is presumably wearing a white salwar kameez. The second image is a candid click of director Vishesh Bhatt dressed in black, captured mid-work on set. The third photo is a close-up shot of the leading man, Emraan Hashmi's wrist. He is seen sporting a small, black dove tattoo just below his thumb, while holding a black thread in between his fingers.

Vishesh Bhatt explains why he made Awarapan 2

On his decision to make Awarapan 2, Producer Vishesh Bhatt says, "Awarapan is an emotion so large that it's meant for the big screen. It also presents exotic settings and large scale sequences but fundamentally it's built on our core principles of layered storytelling with powerful characters and rich music. Emraan felt the angst of Shivam so deeply that he stepped into character in a heartbeat. And with Disha Patani joining us, the world of the film opened up to new possibilities."

Marking her first collaboration with Vishesh Films, Disha Patani brings a compelling new dimension to the world of Awarapan, with Malang, Baaghi 2, MS Dhoni: The Untold Story and Kalki 2898-AD among her credits.

The film is directed by Nitin Kakkar (Filmistan) and written by Bilal Siddiqui (Bads of Bollywood), created and produced by Vishesh Bhatt. It is currently in its final leg of production in Mumbai. Awarapan 2 releases in cinemas worldwide on 14th August 2026.
