Emraan Hashmi does not perform a kissing scene in the upcoming film *Awarapan 2*, and the movie’s writer says the choice is deliberate. In comments to NDTV, writer Siddiqui explains that the production team intentionally leaves out such a moment from the sequel.

The outlets’ reporting centers on the rationale behind avoiding a scene that would align with Hashmi’s public “serial kisser” image. While the articles do not dispute that the actor is known for romantic, intimate roles, they present the omission as a conscious storytelling decision rather than an accident or a scheduling issue. The coverage frames the explanation as coming directly from the writer, with NDTV highlighting the intent to keep the sequel’s tone and character moments distinct from that reputation.

Overall, the available accounts focus on one key point: a kissing scene is not included in *Awarapan 2*, and the writer attributes the decision to creative planning.
