Emraan Hashmi’s ‘serial kisser’ image was deliberately left out of ‘Awarapan 2’
In Awarapan 2, the absence of kissing scenes marks a significant shift away from Emraan Hashmi's earlier portrayal. Writer Bilal Siddiqui indicated that this deliberate choice serves the narrative well. The narrative focuses on Shivam, whose character development is deeply tied to the memory of his late lover. The filmmakers believed that including a forced kiss would detract from Shivam's ongoing struggle and personal evolution.
