Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 Set To Be His Biggest Earner
There is a famous Bollywood actor named Emraan Hashmi who has been making movies for 23 years.
His new movie is called Awarapan 2, and it is doing really well.
In its first few days, the movie earned more than Rs 83 crore.
Experts think it will make around Rs 175 crore in total.
That would be more money than any of his other movies.
The first Awarapan movie did not do well at all, earning only Rs 7 crore.
But people loved it so much that a sequel was made.
Now the sequel is becoming one of the biggest hits of 2026.
Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 is projected to earn Rs 175 crore in lifetime collections, making it his biggest money-spinner.
The film netted over Rs 83 crore in its opening weekend and is set to enter the 100 Crore Club.
Awarapan 2 is expected to be one of 2026's biggest blockbusters.
The original Awarapan folded at just Rs 7 crore, but audience love ensured a sequel was made.
Hashmi's other top earners include The Dirty Picture (Rs 80 crore), Baadshaho (Rs 78.10 crore), and Raaz 3: The Third Dimension (Rs 70.07 crore).
