Afsaana Banaaya Aapne Out: Emraan Hashmi and Himesh Reshammiya Reunite for Gunmaaster G9

The wait is finally over for music lovers as “Afsaana Banaaya Aapne,” the first song from the upcoming action-romance film Gunmaaster G9, has been released. Soham Rockstar Entertainment announced the track on social media, describing it as an “afsaana of love, music and feeling.” The song is part of what the makers are calling a Himesh Reshammiya musical, with the film scheduled to arrive in cinemas worldwide on November 27, 2026. With its romantic mood and nostalgic musical connection, the track is already drawing attention from fans who remember the iconic music associated with Emraan Hashmi’s earlier films.

“Afsaana Banaaya Aapne” brings together Emraan Hashmi, Himesh Reshammiya and director Aditya Datt once again, creating a reunion that carries plenty of nostalgia. The trio previously collaborated on the 2005 cult favourite Aashiq Banaya Aapne, which became closely associated with Emraan’s early screen image and Himesh’s distinctive musical sound. More than two decades later, their reunion for Gunmaaster G9 gives the new song an interesting connection to that earlier era. This time, however, the makers are looking to create a fresh romantic track while retaining the emotional musical flavour audiences have traditionally associated with the combination.

The song features the fresh on-screen pairing of Emraan Hashmi and Genelia Deshmukh, bringing together two actors in a romantic setting that adds another dimension to the upcoming film. Himesh Reshammiya has composed and written the track and also lends his voice alongside Asees Kaur. The makers reportedly spent several months developing the song, with the intention of creating a romantic number that could work both as part of the film’s narrative and as a standalone listening experience. For fans of Himesh’s music, the track also offers a throwback quality while introducing the sound to a new cinematic pairing.

Gunmaaster G9 is being presented by Soham Rockstar Entertainment and is directed by Aditya Datt, with Deepak Mukut, Hunar Mukut and Sangeeta Ahir backing the project as producers. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Aparshakti Khurana alongside Emraan Hashmi and Genelia Deshmukh. While the film is positioned as an action-romance, the release of its first song gives audiences a glimpse into the romantic and musical side of the story. The combination of action, emotion and a prominent soundtrack is expected to form an important part of the film’s overall appeal.

The reunion with Himesh and Aditya is particularly notable for Emraan Hashmi, whose filmography has included several memorable music-driven collaborations. His films from the 2000s were often accompanied by chart-topping songs that became an important part of his on-screen identity. Bringing that nostalgia into Gunmaaster G9 gives the new project a connection to an era that continues to have a dedicated fan following. At the same time, “Afsaana Banaaya Aapne” is not simply being presented as a recreation of the past; the makers are positioning it as a new song with its own romantic world and contemporary presentation.

With “Afsaana Banaaya Aapne” now available, Gunmaaster G9 has officially begun its musical journey ahead of its theatrical release. The film is slated to hit cinemas worldwide on November 27, 2026, and the first single sets the tone for the romance and emotion expected to run alongside its action elements. For Emraan Hashmi fans, Himesh Reshammiya listeners and anyone nostalgic for the music of the mid-2000s, this reunion certainly gives the film an added layer of curiosity. Whether the song becomes another memorable chapter in their musical collaboration will unfold as audiences get closer to the film’s release.
