Emraan Hashmi And Himesh Reshammiya Reunite For Gunmaaster G9

Emraan Hashmi is heading back into familiar territory with a trio that once defined a very specific strain of Bollywood musical thriller, and this time the mission comes with a lot more gunfire.

A Reunion Two Decades In The Making

Gunmaaster G9 brings Hashmi back together with director Aditya Datt and composer Himesh Reshammiya, nearly twenty years after their run of hits together on Aashiq Banaya Aapne and Dil Diya Hai. Genelia Deshmukh joins as the female lead, alongside Aparshakti Khurana and debutant Abhishek Singh, rounding out a cast built around both nostalgia and fresh faces.

What Gunmaaster G9 Is About

The title itself is a direct homage to the character Gunmaster G9, originally played by Mithun Chakraborty in the 1979 classic Surakksha. In this version, Hashmi plays Agent Eshwar, a secret agent and devout follower of Lord Shiva sent on a dangerous mission across the Pakistan border. The teaser leans hard into that duality, showing Hashmi in a gritty, lover boy register fighting to reunite with Deshmukh's character, built around a dialogue where Eshwar asks Mahadev to spare his breath only long enough to reach the doorstep of his love. Aparshakti Khurana is teased as the film's more unpredictable, offbeat presence.

How The Makers Are Building Buzz

Rather than relying purely on a digital rollout, the team has opted for a standalone theatrical screening of the teaser ahead of Yash's Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups, a move designed to put the footage in front of the largest possible cinema audience before the film's own release.

The November Box Office Clash

Produced by Deepak Mukut, Hunar Mukut and Sangeeta Ahir under SRE Studios, Gunmaaster G9 is set for a worldwide release on November 27, 2026, the same day as Sooraj Barjatya's family entertainer Yeh Prem Mol Liya, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari. That release date lines up an unusual sibling clash at the box office, with Aparshakti Khurana's action thriller going head to head with his brother Ayushmann's film on the same weekend.
