When Awarapan was released in 2007, it quickly became a cult success. Part of the film’s appeal was its music, particularly To Phir Aao and Tera Mera Rishta, which became synonymous with the film. The former is now being recreated for the film’s sequel - Awarapan 2 - as its title track, with Amaal Mallik taking over the duties of composing and singing it. This has elicited a response from Pakistani singer Mustapha Zahid, best known for his work on the original Awarapan soundtrack.
The teaser of Awarapan 2 was unveiled last week on the 19th anniversary of the first part. The film brings Emraan Hashmi back as Shivam, the hitman with a heart of gold. The film also stars Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi, along with Suvinder Vicky, Vijayant Kholi, and Atul Kumar. Produced by Vishesh Bhatt, directed by Nitin Kakkar and written by Bilal Siddiqui, Awarapan 2 releases in cinemas on 14 August.
The original Awarapan was directed by Mohit Suri. Apart from Emraan, it starred Shriya Saran, Mrinalini Sharma, Ashutosh Rana, Purab Kohli, Ashish Vidyarthi, and Shaad Randhawa. The film underperformed at the box office but gained a cult fanbase in the years to come.
