Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 Set for August 14 Release with UA 16 Certification
Emraan Hashmi's upcoming film Awarapan 2 is set to release on August 14, with its trailer debuting on August 6. The sequel continues the story of Shivam Pandit from the 2007 original, which will re-release in theatres only after the sequel to serve as a prequel. The Central Board of Film Certification granted Awarapan 2 a UA 16 certificate after requiring nine edits, including reductions in violence, muted expletives, and added disclaimers on drug use and child trafficking. The film will be released in Hindi with English subtitles.
