Vishesh Bhatt pays tribute to late singer KK during Awarapan 2 Instagram Live: “KK will always be missed”

Awarapan 2, one of 2026’s most eagerly anticipated sequels, is gearing up to revive the intense emotion, iconic music, and timeless legacy that made the original film a cult favorite nearly two decades ago. As anticipation mounts, the cast recently joined a special Instagram Live session to connect with eager fans and reflect on the making of the movie. During the stream, producer Vishesh Bhatt spoke emotionally about the immense void left by late singer KK and highlighted the deep, lasting bond the legendary artist shared with the Vishesh Films family.

Reflecting on KK’s contribution, Vishesh Bhatt said, “Everybody keeps asking about KK, we love KK, obviously we miss him, he’s been a big part of our lives, of mine and Emraan’s lives for good 20 years. So, I know a lot of KK’s fans are missing his presence in our films, and, KK will always be missed, I mean, no doubt about it.”

KK’s voice became synonymous with some of Vishesh Films’ most memorable musical moments, especially alongside Emraan Hashmi, creating songs that continue to resonate with audiences even today. Vishesh Bhatt’s heartfelt words served as a reminder of the singer’s lasting legacy and the emotional bond he shared with the Vishesh Films family.

Awarapan 2 brings back Emraan Hashmi as Shivam Pandit alongside Disha Patani, Shabana Azmi, Suvinder Vicky, Vijayant Kohli, Aniruddh Rawal and Atul Kumar. The soulful music of Awarapan 2 is composed by multiple artists, including Mithoon, Jeet Gannguli, Amaal Mallik Akhil Sachdeva, and Wasif.

Mukesh Bhatt and Vishesh Films present Awarapan 2, a Vishesh Bhatt Production. Produced by Vishesh Bhatt, directed by Nitin Kakkar and written by Bilal Siddiqui, Awarapan 2 releases in cinemas worldwide on 14th August 2026.
