Veteran actress Shabana Azmi is reported to be joining the cast of “Awarapan 2,” starring Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani. Multiple outlets, including NDTV and India Today, say Azmi will take on an antagonist role in the film. NDTV, citing IANS, describes this as a first for Azmi in a negative character part, framing the move as a new direction in her career. The reports do not provide further details on her character’s name, backstory, or the plot points involving the antagonist. Both sources indicate that Azmi’s casting is confirmed for the sequel, while they largely focus on the nature of her role rather than any additional production information such as release timing, filming status, or supporting cast. Overall, the coverage converges on the same core information: Shabana Azmi is set to portray the film’s antagonist in “Awarapan 2,” alongside the previously announced leads, Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani.
