The Gen Z will remember Mohit Suri as the filmmaker who directed Saiyaara, but Millennials will always remember him for movies like Zeher, Woh Lamhe, Awarapan, Murder 2, Aashiqui 2, and others. Now, Awarapan 2 is all set to release soon, but Suri has not directed it. The movie is helmed by Nitin Kakkar, who is known for directing films like Filmistaan, Notebook, Jawaani Jaaneman, and others.
On Friday, Suri took to Instagram to share the trailer of Awarapan 2 and gave a shout-out to the film's team. He wrote, "This one feels special. Like a long-lost love, like an old friend you haven’t met in years but still deeply miss. 19 years later, and this movie still matters so much to me."
He further thanked Kakkar for bringing back something that is close to him and directing it with so much love, flourish, sensitivity, and heart.
He added, "To everyone who has worked on this film — most of you I know, have worked with before, and will continue to work with — you’ve done such a brilliant job. Watching this trailer brought back so many memories."
