• Awarapan 2 brings back Emraan Hashmi in his iconic role of Shivam Pandit. The film also stars Shabana Azmi, Disha Patani, and Suvinder Vicky
• Directed by Nitin Kakkar and produced by Vishesh Bhatt, Awarapan 2 resurrects Emraan's character, who had died at the end of the first part.
• On the other hand, Batwara 1947 stars Sunny Deol, Shabana Azmi, Preity Zinta, Karan Deol, Ali Fazal, Abhimanyu Singh, Khushi Hajare, and Kanikka Kapur.
• Batwara 1947 is based on Asghar Wajahat's bestselling book Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya O Jamyai Nai.
• Both films arrive in theatres with substantial hype. Awarapan 2 is a legacy sequel to a cult classic while Batwara 1947 sees the reunion of Sunny and Santoshi's blockbuster jodi.
• The advance bookings for both films opened 48 hours before release. Awarapan 2 scored big, minting over ₹8 crore in pre-sales for day 1 alone.
