Following the success of Awarapan 2, PEN Marudhar has strengthened its upcoming theatrical slate by acquiring the all-India distribution rights of Gunmaaster G9. Starring Emraan Hashmi, the romantic-action entertainer is gearing up for a worldwide theatrical release on November 27, 2026. The distribution deal puts the spotlight on a film that brings together a familiar creative combination while adding a fresh cast and a high-energy action-romance setup.
Gunmaaster G9 marks another reunion between Emraan Hashmi, director Aditya Datt and music composer Himesh Reshammiya. The trio first joined forces back in 2005, and their latest collaboration brings that long-standing creative association back into focus. With Emraan leading the project and Datt returning to the director’s chair, the film carries an interesting blend of nostalgia and a new-age commercial setup, with Himesh’s music adding another key component to the package.
The film also boasts an ensemble cast featuring Genelia Deshmukh, Aparshakti Khurana and Abhishek Singh alongside Emraan. While details of the storyline are being kept under wraps, Gunmaaster G9 has been positioned as a romantic-action film, suggesting that the narrative will combine the emotional pull of a love story with action-driven moments. The combination of Emraan and Genelia also marks an interesting pairing as the film prepares to introduce audiences to its central world.
Behind the project is an experienced production team comprising Deepak Mukut, Sangeeta Ahir and Hunar Mukut, with the film presented by Soham Rockstar Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. Gunmaaster G9 is an SRE Studio LLP production and brings together talent from different corners of the Hindi film industry. The makers appear to be aiming for a theatrical entertainer that can balance romance, music and action while giving its cast a strong commercial canvas.
The acquisition by PEN Marudhar comes after the distributor’s association with Awarapan 2, making Gunmaaster G9 another significant addition to its theatrical lineup. With all-India distribution now secured, the focus will increasingly shift towards the film’s promotional campaign as its November release approaches. The Emraan Hashmi-led project also benefits from the curiosity surrounding the reunion of the actor, Aditya Datt and Himesh Reshammiya after their earlier collaboration.
Gunmaaster G9 is scheduled to release worldwide in cinemas on November 27, 2026. With Emraan Hashmi at the centre, Genelia Deshmukh and Aparshakti Khurana adding to the cast, and the Emraan-Himesh-Aditya Datt combination returning after more than two decades, the film has several elements that could make its promotional journey interesting. For now, PEN Marudhar’s acquisition of the all-India theatrical rights marks another major step towards bringing Gunmaaster G9 to audiences across the country.
