New Delhi: Aditya Datt’s Gunmaaster G9 is bringing back the classic anti-hero Emraan Hashmi, along with songs by Himesh Reshammiya. Hashmi plays a gangster who is in love, calls himself the master of his craft and is seen with a gun in most scenes of the trailer that dropped Wednesday. 

Hashmi plays Eshwar, a dairy farm owner whose peaceful life takes a violent turn when the people he loves are threatened. The trailer introduces him as a man with a troubled past.

Throughout the trailer, Hashmi is seen taking on armed men and engaging in action sequences. It also explores his romantic relationship with Aarti, played by Genelia Deshmukh, marking the first collaboration between the two actors. 

The film also features Aparshakti Khurana as Desu as a psychopathic killer.

Another major highlight of Gunmaaster G9 is the reunion of Hashmi, Datt and Reshammiya, nearly two decades after their collaboration on Aashiq Banaya Aapne (2005). 

The trailer also flooded social media with reactions from Hashmi’s fans, who were excited to see the actor return to his familiar anti-hero avatar.

“Got goosebumps after watching the trailer, G9 is back with full swag, can’t wait for 27th Nov,” a user wrote.

 

“Terrific Emmi bhai.. can’t wait you to see in this avatar.. always a big fan of your romance with your heroines.. I’ll be there on 1st day,” another user commented.

“OG are back Himesh Reshammiya..Emraan Hashmi,” a third user wrote.

 

“Akkha Bollywood ek taraf aur Emraan Hashmi ek taraf (The entire Bollywood is on one side, and Emraan Hashmi is on the other),” another fan commented.

 

The film is scheduled to release in theatres on November 27 and it will clash with Sooraj Barjatya’s Yeh Prem Mol Liya.
