Directed by Aditya Datt and produced by Deepak Mukut, Hunar Mukut, and Sangeeta Ahir under the banner of Soham Rockstar Entertainment, the action-romance is scheduled to hit cinemas worldwide on Friday, November 27, 2026.
Dedicated Theatrical Premiere Strategy
In a unique promotional move, the makers have opted for a dedicated standalone theatrical teaser premiere across national cinema chains:
Strategic Theatrical Showcase: Rather than merely attaching the promo digitally to regular movie prints, the teaser will receive an exclusive standalone screening slot in theaters prior to high-footfall screenings.
Showcasing the G9 Persona: The teaser will offer audiences their first official look at Hashmi playing the new-age espionage operative/action lead, blending raw stylized combat sequences, punchy one-liners, and a pulsating background score.
The 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne' Creative Trio Reunites
Gunmaaster G9 marks a major nostalgic milestone, reuniting the hit creative trio behind the 2005 musical blockbuster Aashiq Banaya Aapne:
Emraan Hashmi × Himesh Reshammiya × Aditya Datt: The reunion of Hashmi’s on-screen persona with Himesh Reshammiya’s chartbuster compositions under Aditya Datt’s direction has created strong anticipation among Hindi film and music enthusiasts.
Powerhouse Ensemble: The film stars Genelia Deshmukh as the female lead and features Aparshakti Khurana in a menacing antagonistic role, with Abhishek Singh making a pivotal appearance as a fearless cop.
Trade Verdict:
Positioning an action-espionage thriller directly on the heels of Awarapan 2 allows Emraan Hashmi to capitalize on peak box-office momentum. With the teaser locked and Himesh Reshammiya’s music campaign gearing up for release, Gunmaaster G9 enters the final quarter of 2026 as one of the most intriguing action-entertainers on the trade calendar.
