Emraan Hashmi is back in his element, and this time the stakes are personal. The official trailer for Gunmaaster G9 arrived on November 11, 2026, showing a dairy farmer named Eshwar who will burn down an entire criminal world to protect the woman he loves. The film releases in theatres worldwide on November 27, 2026.
What the Trailer Shows: A Lover Turned Fighter
The Gunmaaster G9 trailer opens with a heavy, dialogue-driven setup. A voice speaks about faith and devotion, setting the tone for a story where love is treated like a religion . Emraan Hashmi plays Eshwar, an ordinary man whose simple life is shattered when his loved ones are threatened.
The trailer shifts quickly from quiet romantic moments to raw, hand-to-hand combat and gunfights. Eshwar is shown taking on packs of armed men, emerging bruised but unbroken each time . The action is not stylish for the sake of it—it feels desperate, like a man with nothing left to lose.
Genelia Deshmukh appears as his love interest, though the trailer keeps her character’s role largely under wraps. The glimpses of their chemistry suggest a romance that anchors the chaos. Aparshakti Khurana steps into the antagonist’s shoes, and the trailer hints at a brutal conflict between the two.
The Cast and the People Behind the Film
Gunmaaster G9 brings together a team that knows exactly what kind of movie it is making. Aditya Datt directs, having previously worked with Emraan Hashmi on films that shaped the actor’s early action-romance image. The film is produced by Deepak Mukut, Hunar Mukut, and Sangeeta Ahir, with Soham Rockstar Entertainment presenting it.
The supporting cast includes Abhishek Singh, Avneet Kaur, Snehill Mehra, and Inayat Verma. For Aparshakti Khurana, known mostly for comic and supporting roles, playing the primary antagonist marks a sharp turn. The trailer positions him as a cold, dangerous presence opposite Hashmi’s fiery protector.
Emraan Hashmi spoke about the physical demands of the role in a statement tied to the trailer release.
“The hand-to-hand combat, gun sequences and stunts demanded a different kind of preparation. I wanted to make sure that the action felt convincing and that audiences saw a side of me they hadn’t seen before” .
Himesh Reshammiya’s Music Is a Character of Its Own
The Emraan Hashmi–Himesh Reshammiya combination is one of the film’s biggest talking points. The two worked together on Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Aksar, and other projects that defined a specific era of Bollywood music. Gunmaaster G9 marks their reunion, and the trailer leans heavily into that history.
The song “Afsaana Banaaya Aapne” plays a key role in the promotional material, bringing back a sound that fans associate with Hashmi’s early romantic hits. A second track, “Dard-E-Dil Dard-E-Jigar”, was released on October 30, sung by Himesh Reshammiya and Akasa Singh. The music is not background noise here—it is part of the film’s identity.
Fans Are Calling It a Return to the 2000s Era
Social media reactions to the trailer and teaser have centred on nostalgia. Fans are openly comparing the film to the 2003–2011 period when Hashmi and Reshammiya dominated charts and theatres.
One fan wrote, “Abki baar 400 crore paar” (This time it will cross 400 crore), referencing the box office success of Awarapan 2 . Another comment read, “Emraan Hashmi + Himesh Reshammiya = Music Mafia” . A third user posted, “Bhai, seriously lag raha hai ki we are back in that era of 2003-2011. Emraan is back. Emraan-Himesh combo is back” .
The excitement is not limited to the music. Fans have also reacted to the action sequences, with some calling the trailer a proper “mass” entertainer . The response suggests that the film is tapping into a hunger for the kind of Bollywood action-romance that was once a staple.
What Eshwar Is Fighting For
The story of Gunmaaster G9 is built on a simple premise: a quiet man is pushed into violence when the woman he loves is threatened. Eshwar is described as a dairy farm owner, a detail that grounds him in a world far removed from gangsters and guns.
That contrast is the film’s emotional engine. Eshwar is not a trained killer or a secret agent. He is a man who loves deeply, and the trailer frames his violence as a direct extension of that love. The poster released ahead of the trailer carried the line, “Mere Ishq Ki Duniya Mein Aaoge, Toh Iss Duniya Se Jaaoge” (If you enter my world of love, you will leave this world). It is a promise of revenge dressed as romance.
Emraan Hashmi described the character in a press statement: “I play Eshwar in the film—an ordinary dairy farm owner who is willing to go to any lengths for his beloved”.
Release Details for Global Audiences
Gunmaaster G9 will release in theatres on November 27, 2026. The film is a worldwide theatrical release, with PEN Marudhar handling all-India distribution and Phars Films managing overseas territories.
