The first ‘Awarapan’, directed by Mohit Suri, was released in 2007. Though it was loosely inspired by the South Korean film ‘A Bittersweet Life’, it carved out its own space in Bollywood with its powerful storytelling and haunting music. The film starred Emraan Hashmi alongside Shriya Saran, Mrinalini Sharma, and Ashutosh Rana, and told the story of gangster Shivam Pandit.
Since then, Emraan has taken on many diverse roles. Most recently, he was seen in the Telugu action film ‘They Call Him OG’, opposite Pawan Kalyan. In that movie, he played the fearsome antagonist Omkar Vardhaman Mirajkar, also known as Omi Bhau. He is a crime lord locked in a high-stakes battle with Kalyan’s character.
