After Awarapan 2 , Emraan Hashmi is back in action, and this time, love comes with a heavy dose of violence. The trailer of his upcoming film, Gunmaaster G9, gives a glimpse into a world of broken relationships, betrayal and revenge, with the actor playing a man who is willing to go to any lengths to protect his loved ones. Directed by Aditya Datt, the film also features Genelia Deshmukh, Aparshakti Khurana and Abhishek Singh.
Gunmaaster G9 also brings Emraan, director Aditya Datt and composer Himesh Reshammiya together again, nearly two decades after their 2005 film Aashiq Banaya Aapne. The trailer arrives after the film’s teaser and music releases, offering a closer look at its characters and the conflict driving the story. But one day, someone threw them to the ground and trampled them. His softer side comes through in his interactions with Genelia’s character. But I will never let anyone make you cry. The visuals offer plenty of glimpses of the film’s action-packed world. In one sequence, Emraan walks towards a group of armed men gathered around black SUVs in a vast, rocky landscape. He shows little sign of backing down, even as he finds himself outnumbered. Another scene shows him grabbing a bloodied man by the hair inside a dimly lit room, hinting at the brutality that awaits. The trailer also makes room for romance with Afsaana Banaaya Aapne, sung and composed by Himesh along with Asees Kaur. The song plays as Genelia’s character tries to convince Emraan’s character not to let their past affect their relationship. She adds, “What I enjoyed about Gunmaaster G9 is that it doesn’t restrict itself to one mood. There’s action, but there’s also romance, humour, music and emotion. A film like this gives you the opportunity to entertain audiences in several ways. Working with Emraan for the first time was also something I was looking forward to. The trailer is only a glimpse of the world we’ve created. On reuniting with Emraan, director Aditya saysm “I am bringing Emraan back to a space he hasn’t explored in decades — a full-blown, larger-than-life commercial action entertainer. I am giving the audeince an avatar that hasn’t been seen in a long time, combining high-octane action with powerful music, two elements that have always been central to my filmmaking. Was missing in Emraan’s film from a whilee! He concludes, “We wanted to mount Gunmaaster G9 as a big-screen entertainer, and that meant backing the action with the scale it demanded. From the action sequences to the locations and the overall production, the intention was to give audiences something they would want to experience in a cinema hall. We believe the combination of Emraan’s new action avatar, the music and the film’s commercial ingredients makes this an exciting proposition.”
In the opening scene, Emraan’s character says, “A priest has his tilak, a Muslim brother has his faith, and we have our love……we hold these on our heads with pride. Assuring her that he will always protect her, he says, “I may not be able to make you laugh. Genelia says the film’s commercial appeal lies in its ability to bring together very different emotions.
It’s exciting to revisit our journey together, but more importantly, to create something that feels fresh, explosive and truly entertaining for today’s audience” Producer Deepak Mukut says the scale of the film was central to the team’s vision.
