Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 Gets Censor Board Nod
After nine rounds of edits, Emraan Hashmi's sequel finally clears the censor board for August 14 release.

Emraan Hashmi’s much-awaited sequel Awarapan 2 has finally cleared the censor board gauntlet after quite the journey. The film has received a UA (Unrestricted Public) certificate for audiences 16 and above, clearing the path for its theatrical release on August 14, 2026. One less hurdle for the makers to worry about.
Reports doing the rounds suggest the censor board put the film through nine separate rounds of edits before stamping approval. That’s a solid workout for any film team, but the makers clearly had faith in their project enough to navigate all those revisions and come out with the green light.
The actor, known for delivering gritty, boundary-pushing performances in Gangster, Murder, and Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai, continues to take on roles that don’t shy away from darker storytelling. Awarapan 2 carries forward that same edgy vibe from the original film, and audiences are absolutely itching to see what the fuss is all about when it finally hits theaters next month.
The countdown to August 14 is officially on. Our sources and cameras are locked on this release.
