Awarapan 2 hints at Awarapan 3 (PC: IMDb)
Emraan Hashmi’s return as Shivam Pandit has brought back plenty of nostalgia for fans of AwarapanThe original 2007 film eventually became a cult favourite despite not making a big impact at the box office when it first released. Nearly two decades later, Awarapan 2 has brought the character back, and its ending has given fans another reason to wonder what could come next. The sequel does not simply close Shivam’s latest chapter and walk awayInstead, the final moments leave enough room for his story to continue, particularly through his equation with Shabana Azmi’s NafeesaWhile there is no confirmation of another film yet, the way Awarapan 2 wraps up has certainly started conversations about a possible third chapter.
Will there be Awarapan 3?
Awarapan 2 drops a subtle hint that Awarapan 3 could be on the cardsEmraan Hashmi’s Shivam Pandit agrees to deal with Shabana Azmi’s Nafeesa on just one condition – that he becomes her gulaam (slave).
The ending further fuels speculation, as Shivam Pandit sets off on another mission assigned by Nafeesa. There’s no official announcement for a third instalment yet, but the way the story concludes certainly leaves the door open for Awarapan 3.
For now, fans will have to wait for the makers to reveal whether this was simply a way of giving Shivam’s latest story an open-ended conclusion or a set-up for another filmThe possibility is certainly there, especially with Emraan Hashmi returning to a character that still has a strong following after 19 years.
