The trailer of Gunmaaster G9 is finally out, and it brings Emraan Hashmi back to the massy, romantic action space that made him a star. Launched at a grand event in Pune on Wednesday, November 11, the 2-minute-41-second trailer shows Emraan as a simple dairy farmer who picks up a gun when the people he loves are put in danger. The film releases in theatres on November 27.
Directed by Aditya Datt, the film also stars Genelia Deshmukh and Aparshakti Khurana, with music by Himesh Reshammiya. It is the first time Emraan and Genelia have been paired on screen.
Gunmaaster G9 Trailer: What It Shows
Emraan plays Eshwar, a dairy farm owner living a quiet life with Aarti, played by Genelia Deshmukh. That peace does not last long. When his loved ones are threatened, Eshwar turns violent and goes on a rampage to protect them at any cost. The trailer also hints at a gangster past that catches up with him.
The trailer is packed with gunfights, hand-to-hand combat, punchy dialogues and big stunt sequences, mixed with romance and Himesh Reshammiya’s music. The film’s tagline sums up the mood: “Love in his heart. Fire in his gun. G9 in his blood.”
The biggest surprise is Aparshakti Khurana. Known mostly for his comic and friendly roles, he plays Desu, the main villain of the film, and early reactions suggest he is the one who steals the show. Genelia has limited screen time in the trailer, but her love story with Emraan appears to be the emotional centre of the film.

The film is a reunion in more ways than one. Emraan Hashmi, Aditya Datt and Himesh Reshammiya had last come together for Aashiq Banaya Aapne in 2005, a film still remembered for its chartbuster songs. Gunmaaster G9 is being promoted as “A Himesh Reshammiya Musical”, and three songs are already out, Afsaana Banaaya Aapne, Do Din Ki Zindagi and Dard-E-Dil Dard-E-Jigar.
At the trailer launch, director Aditya Datt described the film as a “full-blown, larger-than-life commercial action entertainer” that brings Emraan back to a space he has not explored in years. Emraan said the combat and gunfight scenes needed a different kind of preparation from him, while Genelia said she liked that the film “doesn’t restrict itself to one mood”. Aparshakti added that it is full of the kind of moments audiences enjoy watching together in a theatre.
Gunmaaster G9 will not get a solo run at the box office. It is set to clash with Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari’s Yeh Prem Mol Liya, which releases on the same day. That makes it an interesting weekend for the Khurana brothers, with Aparshakti’s film taking on Ayushmann’s.
For Emraan Hashmi’s fans, though, the trailer delivers exactly what they were hoping for: romance, music, swag and plenty of action. The real test will come on November 27.
