The makers of Emraan Hashmi’s upcoming romantic action film Gunmaaster G9 are skipping the usual Mumbai press circuit to host a grand theatrical trailer launch at the City Pride multiplex in Pune’s Kothrud neighborhood on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. The 2-minute-40-second cut is scheduled to drop online at 3:33 PM IST after receiving an ‘A’ (adults only) certificate from India’s Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) on November 5, Bollywood Hungama reported Tuesday.
Hashmi confirmed the release date on Monday across his social media accounts alongside a new poster. “The man, the story and the world of G9. It’s almost time to see it all come together. The official trailer of #GunmaasterG9 drops on 11.11.26. In cinemas 27th November 2026,” Hashmi wrote, as quoted by Sacnilk.
Rather than holding a standard preview in Mumbai, the cast and crew plan to travel to Maharashtra’s second-largest city to greet local moviegoers two weeks before the film opens worldwide. A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “Pune has a huge fan base for Emraan Hashmi and is one of the top-performing centres of the country. Hence, it made sense for the makers and the cast to travel to Pune to launch the trailer of their film.”
The entire team is expected on stage at City Pride Kothrud, including co-stars Genelia Deshmukh and Aparshakti Khurana, director Aditya Datt, composer Himesh Reshammiya, and producers Deepak Mukut, Sangeeta Ahir, and Hunar Mukut. “The whole team will be present at the launch and hence, it’ll be one of the most memorable events of the year,” the trade source added.
For moviegoers, Wednesday’s 3:33 PM IST release provides the first complete look at the storyline and carries an adults-only rating for its action sequences. In the film, Hashmi plays Eshwar, an ordinary dairy farmer whose quiet life spirals into violence when his family is threatened. Deshmukh, appearing opposite Hashmi for the first time on screen, plays his wife, while Khurana and Abhishek Singh round out the supporting cast.
“The teaser and the songs have given a hint about the world of the film and its characters. The trailer will now give a clear understanding of the film’s plot and of course will be full of mass-appealing moments,” the trade source told Bollywood Hungama.
As background, Gunmaaster G9 reunites Hashmi, director Datt, and composer Reshammiya 21 years after their 2005 musical thriller Aashiq Banaya Aapne and 2006 follow-up Dil Diya Hai. Following earlier release schedule changes, the promotional campaign leaned heavily on that nostalgia before unveiling the main plot, rolling out a brief teaser and three tracks composed by Reshammiya: Afsaana Banaaya Aapne, Do Din Ki Zindagi, and Dard-E-Dil Dard-E-Jigar.
The project also rides box-office momentum from Hashmi’s August 14, 2026 release Awarapan 2, which collected 82 crore rupees net in India over its opening weekend. That turnout prompted PEN Marudhar to acquire the all-India theatrical distribution rights for Gunmaaster G9 in a deal Bollywood Hungama reported at over 35 crore rupees. The film is produced under the SRE Studio LLP banner and presented by Soham Rockstar Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., with Phars Films handling international distribution ahead of its worldwide theatrical opening on Friday, November 27, 2026.
