The announcement of Awarapan 2 has sparked excitement, but director Mohit Suri reveals he was never offered the sequel. In an interview with NDTV, Mohit explained that he wasn't approached for the project, citing his long history with lead actor Emraan Hashmi.
Mohit and Emraan have collaborated on eight films, including Murder 2, Awarapan, and Raaz: The Mystery Continues. Mohit praised Emraan, saying he would work with him 'at the drop of a hat' but felt it would be more beneficial for him to take on a new project.
Awarapan 2 is being directed by Nitin Kakkar and stars Disha Patani in a key role. The film is scheduled to release on August 14. Meanwhile, Mohit is set to collaborate again with Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda for another YRF love story.
