Awarapan 2 is one of the most-awaited Bollywood films of next year. Recently, Bollywood Hungama confirmed that Manushi Chhillar will not be part of the sequel, ending weeks of speculation around the female lead.
According to reports, Manushi was never signed for the film, and the makers plan to make an official announcement soon. Such buzz is natural, as fans are eager after the popularity of the first instalment.
Meanwhile, Pinkvilla reported that Disha Patani has been locked as the lead actress. The film begins shooting in Bangkok by the end of September 2025, marking the start of its first schedule.
Fans now want the female role to be strong and balanced with Emraan Hashmi’s screen presence. The decision lies with the producer, but the demand for a well-written character is clear across social media.
The hype continues to grow as the shoot nears. Once posters and trailers drop, the excitement is expected to rise even higher.
Emraan is already in the news after his cameo in The Ba**ds of Bollywood. His earlier films often worked because of blockbuster songs, even when the storylines were overlooked.
Awarapan 2 is scheduled to release in summer 2026. You will soon find out if Emraan Hashmi receives a grand welcome in theatres or if the response takes a different turn.
