Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi, known for his intense performances and a career filled with both highs and lows, is reportedly just one hit away from a significant resurgence. Director Mohit Suri, who has a long-standing and successful collaboration with Hashmi, believes 'Awarapan 2' could be the film to propel him back into the spotlight. In an exclusive interview, Suri shared his perspective on Hashmi's career trajectory and the unpredictable nature of the Hindi film industry.
Suri, known for his romantic and thriller films like 'Aashiqui 2' and 'Ek Villain', has consistently cast Hashmi in roles that showcase his versatility.

He emphasizes that while the industry can be fickle, Hashmi possesses the talent and charisma to regain his position as a leading man.
“Emraan is a fantastic actor, and he’s proven that time and again,” Suri stated. “He’s got a certain intensity and vulnerability that’s captivating. Sometimes, it's just about finding the right project at the right time. I genuinely believe 'Awarapan 2' is that project for him. It’s a film that will allow him to showcase his range and connect with the audience on a deeper level.”
The film itself is a sequel to the 2013 crime thriller 'Awarapan,' and expectations are high. 'Awarapan 2' promises a gripping narrative with intense action sequences and a complex storyline. The buzz surrounding the film suggests a potential return to form for Hashmi, capitalizing on the nostalgia of the original while presenting a fresh and compelling story.
Suri's assessment of Hashmi’s career isn’t based solely on intuition. He points to the actor’s recent performances and the evolution of his on-screen persona. “He’s matured as an actor, and he’s willing to take risks. He’s not afraid to experiment with different genres and characters, which is commendable. This willingness to evolve is what will ultimately set him apart and lead to his comeback.”
The director also acknowledged the inherent volatility of Bollywood careers. “It’s a challenging industry. You can be on top one minute and struggling the next. But Emraan has the resilience and the talent to navigate these challenges. I have no doubt that he’ll bounce back stronger than ever.”
With 'Awarapan 2' poised for release, all eyes are on Emraan Hashmi. Whether it will be the defining moment in his comeback remains to be seen, but the director’s unwavering faith and the film’s promising premise offer a glimmer of hope for a renewed chapter in the actor’s illustrious career.
