Emraan Hashmi's Comeback: Awarapan 2 Poised for Record Opener

Emraan Hashmi's career, marked by early successes like Murder and later hits such as Murder 2 and The Dirty Picture, is poised for a potential resurgence with his upcoming film, Awarapan 2. Trade experts suggest the film has the capability to break his previous opening day record of Rs. 12.60 crores set by Baadshaho in 2017.

Industry veterans are optimistic about Hashmi's return to mass-appealing roles. They highlight a strong demand among the youth, who have heard of his legendary status but have not experienced it on the big screen recently. This anticipation suggests a significant box office opening, even amidst competition from other major releases.

Experts also point out that Hashmi's earlier career trajectory suffered due to a phase of selecting 'arty' films, deviating from the image that garnered him a loyal fan base. The current shift back to his popular persona in Awarapan 2 is viewed as a wise decision to reignite audience connection and expectations.
