2007's Awarapan

Actor Emraan Hashmi, who turned 46 years old today, has made a significant impact in Bollywood by consistently delivering impressive performances, showcasing his versatility and range.

However, the movie has achieved a cult status over time and fans still enjoy the music album. The movie also starred Shriya Saran, Mrinalini Sharma, Ashutosh Rana, Ashish Vidyarthi and others in key roles.
