Awarapan is reportedly heading back to theatres on July 31, 2026, before Awarapan 2 arrives in cinemas. A source told an entertainment portal that the decision was driven by the film's strong recall, emotional story, and timeless soundtrack.

Emraan Hashmi starrer Awarapan 2 is undoubtedly one of the most-awaited films of the year. The movie, which also stars Disha Patani, is a sequel to the 2007 release Awarapan. Now, according to a report, the first instalment of Awarapan is all set to re-release before Awarapan 2 hits the big screens.

A source told Bollywood Hungama that Awarapan will re-release on July 31, 2026, two weeks before the release of Awarapan 2. The source said, “Awarapan will re-release on July 31. The first part continues to hold strong recall value due to the casting, subject, emotional and massy moments, and, most importantly, the timeless music score. Hence, it was decided to bring it to cinemas before the release of Awarapan 2.”

Awarapan Vs Spider-Man?

If the report of Awarapan re-releasing on July 31 turns out to be true, then it will clash at the box office with Tom Holland- and Zendaya-starrer Spider-Man: Brand New Day. While, of course, the Hollywood film might be the first choice of the audience that week, it will surely be interesting to watch what response Awarapan will get at the box office.
