Emraan Hashmi’s Upcoming Movies: Gunmaaster G9, G2 and More

Emraan Hashmi’s upcoming movies are taking shape across action, romance, espionage and horror, with Gunmaaster G9 currently scheduled to release in theatres on November 27, 2026. The project marks a reunion between Hashmi, director Aditya Datt and composer Himesh Reshammiya, while the actor is also associated with G2 (Goodachari 2), Rooh and the developing third instalment of the Jannat franchise.

The lineup reflects the range of roles and genres that have remained central to Hashmi’s career. From crime dramas and romantic thrillers to action-led projects and horror, the actor’s forthcoming slate brings together established collaborations, franchise extensions and films that could introduce him to new audience segments.

Gunmaaster G9 leads the announced lineup

Gunmaaster G9 is the most clearly dated project among the titles mentioned in DPIFF’s Instagram post. The action-romance is listed for a theatrical release on November 27, 2026. The film also reunites Hashmi with Aditya Datt, who has previously worked with the actor, and music composer Himesh Reshammiya.

For audiences, the combination of an action-oriented premise and a romantic track places the film within a familiar but commercially important space in Hindi cinema. The presence of Reshammiya adds another point of interest, particularly because music has traditionally played a significant role in shaping the identity of romantic and action films.

At this stage, the available announcement does not provide further details about the film’s plot, character names, co-stars or production schedule. Those details should be assessed through official announcements as the release date approaches.

What to know about G2 (Goodachari 2)

Hashmi is also set to appear in G2, the sequel to the Telugu spy thriller Goodachari. The original film, released in 2018, established a sleek espionage world around its central intelligence operative and became known for its international-style presentation within the Indian spy-thriller space.

The sequel expands Hashmi’s association with a franchise rooted in espionage rather than conventional Hindi film storytelling. Its multilingual positioning also gives the project relevance beyond a single-language market, as Indian filmmakers and actors increasingly move between industries and audiences.

While Hashmi’s role and the film’s complete narrative details have not been outlined in the DPIFF post, his inclusion adds a recognisable Hindi cinema presence to a sequel built on an existing action property.

Rooh and the return to horror

Rooh is currently listed for 2027, placing it among the longer-term projects in Hashmi’s pipeline. Horror and supernatural cinema have been important parts of the actor’s filmography, making the title a potentially significant addition to that section of his work.

However, a 2027 listing should be treated as a current schedule rather than a guarantee of a final release date. Film release plans can change because of production timelines, post-production requirements, distribution decisions and changes in the wider theatrical calendar.

The continuing interest in Jannat 3

Jannat 3 remains under development, according to the information shared in the post. The title has particular relevance because Hashmi led both Jannat (2008) and Jannat 2 (2012), films that helped strengthen his association with emotionally charged characters, crime narratives and music-driven storytelling.

Unlike Gunmaaster G9 and Rooh, Jannat 3 does not have a confirmed release date in the information currently available here. Its development nevertheless underlines the continued audience interest in returning to established film worlds, especially when those worlds are closely linked to a star’s screen identity.

Why this slate matters for Emraan Hashmi

The projects listed together present a career slate built around variety rather than a single genre. Gunmaaster G9 offers a dated theatrical action-romance, G2 connects Hashmi with a contemporary spy franchise, Rooh points towards horror, and Jannat 3 represents the possible continuation of a recognised Hindi film series.

For viewers, the most useful distinction is between confirmed scheduling and development-stage information. Gunmaaster G9 has a release date listed in the DPIFF post, while Rooh is associated with 2027 and Jannat 3 remains under development. Further announcements from the filmmakers, studios and official distribution partners will be important in establishing final dates and production details.
