Emraan Hashmi's much-anticipated "Awarapan 2" is poised for a strong box office performance, with advance bookings showing significant promise ahead of its August 14, 2026 release.

Advance booking data reveals Delhi as a top performer, generating over 5 lakh in early sales within hours. Other key circuits like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Telangana are also showing strong momentum. This early success is attributed to the high expectations surrounding Emraan Hashmi's return as Shivam Pandit after 19 years.
