Former bureaucrat-turned-actor Abhishek Singh has joined Emraan Hashmi’s upcoming action entertainer, Gunmaaster G9. Directed by Aditya Datt, the film will also star Genelia Deshmukh and Aparshakti Khurana.

The makers unveiled a short promo to make the announcement which features Abhishek's voiceover as he says a punchy dialogue. He plays a cop in the film.

Speaking about being part of it, Abhishek said in a press release, “This film is incredibly exciting. It blends action, emotion, and mind games — which is what raises the stakes of the story. It’s unlike anything I’ve done before. I’m grateful to Deepak Mukut and Aditya Datt for envisioning me in this role.”

Gunmaster G9 features music by Himesh Reshammiya and marks the reunion of the Aashiq Banaya Aapne team. The 2005 film was directed by Aditya, starred Emraan and had music by Himesh.

Talking about the film earlier, Aditya said, “When we made Aashiq Banaya Aapne, we were young, hungry, and experimental. With Gunmaaster G9, we are still all of those things—but sharper and more evolved. It’s a full-circle moment for me. I am incredibly grateful to Deepak Mukut for bringing us back together and trusting us with this film.”

Gunmaaster G9 is produced by Deepak Mukut and Hunar Mukut under the Soham Rockstar Entertainment banner. The film is expected to begin shoot in Mumbai post-monsoon, with Uttarakhand schedules to follow shortly thereafter. It is slated to release in 2026.
