Emraan Hashmi has dropped a brand-new Gunmaaster G9 poster today, and it leaves no doubt about the mood of his next film. The actor shared the striking solo poster on his Instagram handle on 5 November 2026, in a joint post with the makers, and the image has already set off a fresh wave of excitement around the action romance. The Gunmaaster G9 poster shows Hashmi in a rugged, intense avatar, holding a smoking gun and staring straight at the camera, with a look that says his character Eshwar is not a man to cross.
“When the guns speak, only the strongest survive,” Hashmi wrote alongside the poster, introducing himself as Eshwar and confirming the release date in the same breath: “In cinemas 27 November 2026.” That single line sums up the film’s promise — romance, music and high-octane action, wrapped in an old-school Bollywood flavour. With just over three weeks to go before release, the new Gunmaaster G9 poster is the makers’ clearest signal yet that the countdown has begun.
What the new Gunmaaster G9 poster shows
The new Gunmaaster G9 poster keeps things simple and direct. Emraan Hashmi fills the frame in a fierce action avatar, a firearm in his hand, smoke curling from the barrel. There is no clutter, no ensemble crowd, no romantic soft-focus — just Eshwar, his gun and his glare. It is the same gritty, high-octane world the teaser introduced in August, now distilled into a single still.
The poster also carries a Hindi tagline that warns anyone who steps into Eshwar’s world of love that they will not leave this world alive — a line that fits the film’s mix of romance and violence perfectly. The message is clear: this is a love story, but it is one that will be fought for with bullets. The songs of the film had already struck a chord with audiences, and the makers have now followed them up with a poster that matches that energy.
Who is Eshwar? The man behind the gun
So who exactly is the man in the Gunmaaster G9 poster? Emraan Hashmi plays Eshwar, a seemingly ordinary dairy farm owner with a dangerous side. That contrast — an everyday man hiding a violent past — is the heart of the film. The teaser, released on 25 August 2026, introduced him as a man deeply in love who is willing to go to any lengths for the woman he wants, even praying to Lord Shiva that his life should not end before he reaches his love.
It is a classic Emraan Hashmi setup with a harder edge: the lover who becomes a fighter. The 1-minute-22-second teaser gave audiences a glimpse of that world — tender moments with Genelia Deshmukh’s character, sudden bursts of action, and Himesh Reshammiya’s music swelling underneath. The new poster picks up exactly where the teaser left off, presenting Eshwar not as a lover first, but as a gunman.
Gunmaaster G9 cast: Genelia Deshmukh, Aparshakti Khurana and more
The Gunmaaster G9 poster may focus on Hashmi alone, but the film around him is an ensemble. Genelia Deshmukh plays Aarti, the female lead and the centre of Eshwar’s world, while Aparshakti Khurana plays Desu, the antagonist standing opposite Hashmi. Khurana has described Desu as his darkest role yet, and he wrapped his shoot recently, calling it the final day of an intense schedule.
Abhishek Singh also features in a key role, along with Snehil Dixit Mehra and Inayat Verma. The film is directed by Aditya Datt and written by Sarim Momin and Junaid Wasi. It is produced by Deepak Mukut, Hunar Mukut and Sangeeta Ahir, presented by Soham Rockstar Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., and made under the banner of SRE Studio LLP. PEN Marudhar will handle the film’s release across India, while Phars Films will oversee its overseas distribution.
A reunion 19 years in the making
One reason the Gunmaaster G9 poster has landed so well with fans is the reunion behind it. The film brings Emraan Hashmi back together with director Aditya Datt and music composer Himesh Reshammiya — the team behind the 2005 musical hit Aashiq Banaya Aapne, which also marked Reshammiya’s singing debut. The trio later worked together on Good Boy, Bad Boy and Dil Diya Hai, and Gunmaaster G9 is their first collaboration in nearly two decades.
That history matters because the music has always been central to this team’s films. The teaser’s background score already featured a part of the song “Afsanam”, giving the footage a distinctly early-2000s feel that many Hashmi fans will recognise instantly. Producer Deepak Mukut has said the team was keen to bring Hashmi, Datt and Reshammiya together once again, and Gunmaaster G9 gave them the opportunity. Datt himself has called it one of the most demanding yet exhilarating films of his career.
Teaser, songs and the road to 27 November
The journey to the new Gunmaaster G9 poster has been building for months. The project was officially announced on 9 July 2025 with a series of character-reveal motion posters introducing Hashmi as Eshwar, Deshmukh as Aarti and Khurana as Desu. A release-date poster followed on 17 August 2026, confirming 27 November 2026, and first-look stills arrived on 24 August. The official teaser dropped a day later, on 25 August 2026.
Since then the music campaign has kept the film in the news. The song “Dard-E-Dil Dard-E-Jigar”, featuring the voices of Himesh Reshammiya and Akasa Singh, was released on 30 October 2026. With the poster out today, the makers are now in the final stretch of promotions, and a full trailer is expected before the film reaches cinemas.

Gunmaaster G9 release date, OTT and what to expect
Gunmaaster G9 is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on 27 November 2026. It arrives just three weeks after Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana opened in cinemas on 5 November, and a week before Shraddha Kapoor’s Eetha reaches theatres on 4 December — a busy corridor for Hindi cinema, and a confident slot for a film the makers clearly believe in.
No OTT release date or streaming platform has been announced yet, and the makers have not shared any box office expectations — both are normal at this stage, with the film still three weeks from release. What is confirmed is the shape of the film: a high-octane family action drama that blends romance, music and drama, with Emraan Hashmi in a powerful new action-oriented role. If the Gunmaaster G9 poster is anything to go by, Eshwar is ready — and the guns, as Hashmi put it, are about to speak.
Emraan Hashmi is also headlining the musical horror film Rooh, whose motion poster was unveiled earlier this week.
