Emraan Hashmi's 'Awarapan 2' Success Highlights Salman Khan's Past Praise and Film's Narrative Choices
Emraan Hashmi's recent film 'Awarapan 2' has achieved significant box office success, crossing Rs 100 crore in India and earning his career-best opening day collection. An old video of Salman Khan praising Emraan as an underrated and talented actor has resurfaced, highlighting his early recognition. The film notably excludes kissing scenes, a deliberate choice by writer Bilal Siddiqui to reflect the protagonist's emotional connection to his late lover, maintaining narrative consistency with the original 'Awarapan'.
