Imran Hashmi's film 'Avarapan 2' leads 'Bantwara 1947' in pre-sales

August was expected to be a significant month for Indian cinema, as four major films were scheduled to hit theaters during that month. Among them was the planned clash between 'Bantwara 1947' and 'Avarapan 2'. Additionally, the films 'Toxic' by Yash and 'Ita' by Shraddha Kapoor were set to release at the end of the month.

The film 'Toxic' was slated for release on August 26. While 'Ita' was supposed to come out on August 28, actress Shraddha Kapoor decided to postpone her film's release to avoid this confrontation. 'Ita' will now be released on December 4, 2026. The actress confirmed this new date in an Instagram post.

With the new release date, 'Ita', produced under Madock Films, will now compete with Prabhas' film 'Fauji', which is set to release one day earlier, on December 3. Nevertheless, 'Ita' has a certain advantage because its trailer received many positive reviews from fans. Shraddha's performance as Vitabai Narayangaonkar was particularly praised.

However, if Prabhas' 'Fauji' becomes a sensation due to its trailers, it could create additional difficulties for Shraddha. It remains to be seen what advantage the actor will gain by releasing a day earlier. Meanwhile, the path for Yash's 'Toxic' is completely clear.

The film 'Toxic' is ready for release across India. Its trailer has received mixed reactions. Yash's fans are currently very eager to see their favorite actor on the big screen. This return of the 'rock star' comes four years after the great success of his previous film 'KGF Chapter 2'. Therefore, Yash hopes that 'Toxic' will achieve similar success. He has gained a significant advantage that he intends to utilize.

The powerful trailer for Awarapan 2 showcases Imran Hashmi's intense portrayal in the sequel to his beloved project. Imran returns as Shivam Pandit after nearly two decades. The story of this passionate lover promises to be even more dramatic and gripping.

The film is scheduled for release in theaters on August 14th of this year. The 1 minute 25 second trailer begins with hits from the original film, a strategy by the creators intended to connect viewers with the spirit of Awarapan. A scene with rain and the dramatic appearance of an injured Imran against the backdrop of the heartbreaking song 'Tere Mera Rishta...' evokes a sense of nostalgia among fans.

The character Shabana appears negative. She addresses Imran, who plays Shivam Pandit, asking: 'You have such a beautiful face, do you want to meet death?' In response, Shivam states that he has a long-standing connection with death and wishes to repay a debt. In the trailer, Shivam is shown suffering as a passionate lover. He has not forgotten the early traumas of the past.

Judging by the trailer, Shivam's anger for revenge and emotions will be at a high level this time. Disha Patani also appears as Jara, whose scenes help advance the plot and play an important role in Shivam's journey. Shabana and Nafisa are also featured in strong roles in the film, while Puran Gabbi and Surendra Vicky act as supporting actors.

The musical compositions are one of the main strengths of the film, as good music serves as fuel in such an intense story of a passionate lover. As in the first part, songs in Awarapan 2 are the main focus. It should be noted that Awarapan, released in 2007, was a box office failure. Therefore, significant success in box office collections is expected from the second film, where it will compete with Sunny Deol's film 'Bantwara 1947', despite the different genres of both movies.
