Mithoon, Sayeed Quadri Reunite For Awarapan 2, Reimagine 'Toh Phir Aao' And 'Tera Mera Rishta'

Composer Mithoon and lyricist Sayeed Quadri are reuniting with Vishesh Films for Awarapan 2, reviving the creative partnership behind the original film's acclaimed soundtrack ahead of the sequel's theatrical release on August 14, 2026.

Directed by Nitin Kakkar, Awarapan 2 stars Emraan Hashmi, Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi. The sequel follows the legacy of the 2007 film, which earned a loyal fan following for its emotional storytelling and memorable music. The new film is being positioned as an action drama that continues the franchise's emphasis on emotionally driven narratives and a powerful soundtrack.

Speaking about bringing back the musical duo, producer Vishesh Bhatt said, "While searching for the musical identity of this film, I kept returning to the same two names, Mithoon and Sayeed Quadri Saab. I knew they would bring the emotional scale and depth this story needed, while taking it to a place beyond what I had imagined. Their music has always lived in the space between heartbreak and hope, intimacy and magnitude, and that is exactly the space this film needed."

Lyricist Sayeed Quadri said his connection with the Awarapan franchise remains deeply personal.

"When the heart is sincere, and carries that sense of wanderlust and restlessness, the words that come from it hold a special truth. I share that same emotional bond with Awarapan, its sequel, and Vishesh Films, and it will come through in the songs of Awarapan 2 for audiences to feel," he said.

Composer Mithoon described the reunion as a return to a creative partnership built on trust and shared emotion.

"Every memorable song we've created together has been the result of perfect alignment. Vishesh provides a deeply emotional narrative canvas, and Sayeed Quadri Saab writes poetry that conveys the most complex emotions in a simple manner. To score the music for Awarapan 2, we relied entirely on that exact chemistry. It is a joy to reunite and make music that is so uncompromisingly honest," he said.

Produced by Vishesh Bhatt and directed by Nitin Kakkar, Awarapan 2 is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on August 14, 2026.
