Gunmaaster G9 trailer: Emraan Hashmi goes ruthless for family

The trailer for Gunmaaster G9 is out now, and it pushes Emraan Hashmi into a harder, bloodier register than his recent screen image. Directed by Aditya Datt, the action thriller runs on betrayal, broken relationships and revenge, with Hashmi as a man willing to cross every boundary to protect his family.

What the trailer shows

The promo opens on pride and humiliation, then moves quickly into threat and retaliation. A softer side appears in scenes with Genelia Deshmukh, where Hashmi promises he may not be able to make her laugh but will never let anyone make her cry. That tenderness is undercut almost immediately: a police officer calls him “a goon, and now he’s acting all decent.” Aparshakti Khurana arrives as a menacing antagonist, reciting Nani teri morni ko mor le gaye before warning that anyone who commits treachery will be devoured along with his family.

• Director: Aditya Datt
• Key cast: Emraan Hashmi, Genelia Deshmukh, Aparshakti Khurana, Abhishek Singh
• Release: Worldwide theatrical release on November 27, 2026
• Music: Afsaana Banaaya Aapne by Himesh Reshammiya and Asees Kaur

Hashmi’s character answers the danger with an ultimatum: if anyone even looks at his love and family, he will gouge their eyes out; if anyone raises a hand, he will cut it off. The trailer then makes good on that threat with gritty action. In one sequence he walks unarmed toward armed men beside black SUVs in rocky terrain; in another he attacks a bloodied opponent in a dimly lit room.

Why the reunion matters

Gunmaaster G9 brings Hashmi back with director Aditya Datt and composer Himesh Reshammiya almost two decades after their 2005 hit Aashiq Banaya Aapne. The romantic track Afsaana Banaaya Aapne, composed and sung by Reshammiya with Asees Kaur, plays over scenes where Deshmukh urges Hashmi not to let his past shadow their relationship. It is a deliberate bridge between the old romantic image and the new action mode.

The film is presented by Soham Rockstar Entertainment Pvt Ltd and produced by Deepak Mukut, Hunar Mukut and Sangeeta Ahir, with Shirish Vallicha as co-producer. For Hashmi, it follows the emotional drama Awarapan 2 (2026), which starred Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi. This time the pitch is leaner, louder and built around family honour.
