Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 has earned Rs 55 crore in its first two days, producer Vishesh Bhatt told Zoom. Bhatt said the film is not a cash grab, adding that no distributor came forward to buy it and the team invested their own money.

Bhatt defended casting Disha Patani opposite Hashmi, saying her character is deliberately different from Shriya Saran's in the original. He said Patani was a good fit for the modern role. The Federal's review, however, called the sequel an overlong melodrama designed for Hashmi's cult fanbase, with a plot similar to Dhurandhar and lacking the original's atheism theme.
The film, directed by Nitin Kakkar, also stars Shabana Azmi. Bhatt confirmed he is planning Jannat 3 with Hashmi, with the script currently in progress.
