Despite its initial box office failure, Awarapan (2007) has achieved cult status over the years. The film's unforgettable soundtrack and Emraan Hashmi's intense performance have contributed to its enduring popularity.

Consequently, distributors are now eager to acquire the all-India theatrical rights for the upcoming sequel, Awarapan 2. Last week, several major Hindi film distributors apparently visited Vishesh Films's office to express their interest in this lucrative opportunity.
