A familiar musical spell is back in the air. With Afsaana Banayaa Aapne in its Resonance version now streaming on Spotify, Gunmaaster G9 has tapped straight into the memory of the Emraan Hashmi and Himesh Reshammiya era that once ruled heartbreak playlists, late-night radio, and a defining phase of Hindi film pop culture.
That emotional pull comes with an added layer of curiosity because Gunmaaster G9 also reunites Emraan Hashmi with director Aditya Datt and composer-singer Himesh Reshammiya, the team behind Aashiq Banaya Aapne and Dil Diya Hai. For fans of that 2000s sound, this teaser drop feels like the first real signal that the reunion is ready to play on the same emotional frequency.
Film’s teaser set to be out later today.
Gunmaaster G9 Locks Its Theatrical Release
The Spotify teaser arrives soon after the makers confirmed the film’s theatrical release date. Gunmaaster G9 is scheduled to release worldwide in theatres on November 27, 2026. The film stars Emraan Hashmi, Genelia D’Souza and Aparshakti Khurana, and is directed by Aditya Datt. It is produced by Deepak Mukut, Hunar Mukut and Sangeeta Ahir, and is presented by Soham Rockstar Entertainment Pvt Ltd.
The project has been described as an action romance, placing it in a space that naturally suits both heightened drama and a melody-forward soundtrack. With the teaser now out, the campaign has begun revealing the tone of the film while keeping the spotlight firmly on its reunion value.
The Makers Lean Into The Reunion Factor
The people behind the film have also underscored the balance they are aiming for. Deepak Mukut said, “Romance, action and music form a heady cocktail in the film, and it has come together beautifully.”
Aditya Datt added, “Our endeavour was to ensure that every action sequence, every emotion and every frame carries a sense of impact. Reuniting with Emraan and Himesh after all these years has been an extraordinary experience, and I am excited for audiences to see what we have created.”
Those comments make it clear that the film is being mounted as more than a throwback. The idea is to channel a familiar creative chemistry into a fresh theatrical package for 2026 audiences.
That reunion also arrives at a particularly active moment in Emraan Hashmi’s career, making Gunmaaster G9 one part of a much wider run for the actor this year.
Emraan Hashmi’s Busy 2026 Lineup
Emraan Hashmi has had a packed 2026 across both theatrical and streaming projects. He returned to one of his most remembered titles with Awarapan 2, revisiting the world of the 2007 film that built a loyal following over time. Film proved to be super hit with 150 crore nett India number. He also expanded his OTT presence with Netflix’s crime thriller series Taskaree: The Smuggler’s Web, created by Neeraj Pandey.
He is also part of the Telugu spy action thriller G2, co-starring Adivi Sesh and Wamiqa Gabbi. Against that broader lineup, Gunmaaster G9 stands out for reconnecting him most directly with the moody romantic-musical space that helped define his screen persona for an entire generation of listeners and moviegoers.
