Awarapan 2: Pakistani Singer Mustafa Zahid May Record New Version of Tera Mera Rishta

Awarapan 2 trailer is out.

Looks pretty mid to me. The hype will pull the initial audience, but I don't see the film working on its own. The music might end up doing most of the heavy lifting, just like how Anirudh's albums often become the biggest strength of otherwise average… pic.twitter.com/FcEpSUsb5S

The new rendition of the song will not be used in the film, but only for promotional and social media usage.

The song may be recorded in Dubai. Currently, the proposal is awaiting approval from both parties. However, neither Mustafa Zahid nor the film's makers have issued an official statement on this report. Following the 2016 Uri terrorist attack, several organizations in the Indian film industry decided not to work with Pakistani artists. However, in 2023, the Bombay High Court dismissed a petition seeking a legal ban on Pakistani artists.

In recent years, films starring Pakistani actors like Hania Aamir and Fawad Khan were not released in India, bringing the issue back into the spotlight.

"Awarapan 2," starring Emraan Hashmi, also stars Shabana Azmi and Disha Patani in lead roles. The film is scheduled to release in theaters on August 14, 2026. Meanwhile, the makers have also released the audio of a new version of "Tera Mera Rishta," composed by Mithun, Mustafa Zahid, and Pritam, with vocals by Saaj Bhatt and Subodh Sharma.
