The cameras are set to roll on GUNMAASTER G9, a high-octane family action drama that marks the much-anticipated reunion of the Aashiq Banaya Aapne team—Emraan Hashmi, director Aditya Datt, and music composer Himesh Reshammiya—after nearly two decades.
Produced by Deepak Mukut and Hunar Mukut under the Soham Rockstar Entertainment banner, the film features a dynamic ensemble cast including Emraan Hashmi, Genelia D’Souza, Aparshakti Khurana, and Abhishek Singh. Following the success of Sanam Teri Kasam earlier this year, Mukut brings his vision for genre-driven cinema to this ambitious new project.
GUNMAASTER G9 will see Emraan Hashmi in a never-before-seen action avatar, promising stylized visuals and emotionally charged storytelling that appeals to a wide audience.
Director Aditya Datt, known for Table No. 21, the Commando franchise, and the recent OTT series Bad Cop, sees the film as a full-circle moment.
“When we made Aashiq Banaya Aapne, we were young, hungry, and experimental. With GUNMAASTER G9, we’re still all of those things—but sharper and more evolved. It’s a full-circle moment for me. I’m incredibly grateful to Deepak Mukut for bringing us back together and trusting us with this film,” he said.
Producer Deepak Mukut head of Soham Rockstar Entertainment, known for investing in genre-forward cinema added:
“This film is slick, emotional, and has mass appeal. At Soham Rockstar, we back directors like Aditya Datt who have a strong vision and a fresh take on mainstream cinema. With Emraan, Genelia, and Aparshakti onboard, we have a dream cast to bring this powerful story to life.”
With Himesh Reshammiya returning to score the music, GUNMAASTER G9 is expected to deliver a blockbuster soundtrack that complements its gripping narrative. The film promises to be a full-spectrum cinematic experience for today’s audiences.
Principal photography is scheduled to begin in Mumbai post-monsoon, with Uttarakhand schedules to follow shortly thereafter.
The film is slated for release in 2026.
