Shaad Randhawa is set to make history with two film releases on the same day — Yeh Prem Mol Liya and Gunmaaster G9 — marking the first time in his 20-year career that he appears in two theatrical films on the same date.
Shaad Randhawa is about to make cinematic history — not once, but twice. On November 27, 2026, he’ll be seen in two theatrically released films on the same day: Sooraj Barjatya’s Yeh Prem Mol Liya and Emraan Hashmi’s Gunmaaster G9. It’s the first time in his 20-year career that he’s appeared in two full theatrical releases on a single date.
The films couldn’t be more different. One is a family-oriented romantic drama with Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari at its heart. The other? A high-octane musical actioner packed with stunts, music, and mass appeal.
The clash isn’t just thematic, it’s calendar-level. Both films are set for release on the same Friday, turning the box office into a battlefield of tonal opposites. And Shaad Randhawa is the only actor standing between them. According to sources quoted by Bollywood Hungama, he has a crucial role in Gunmaaster G9, not a cameo, not a cameos.
The makers approached him directly, and he accepted with enthusiasm. His rapport with Emraan Hashmi off-screen played a part in the decision. They’ve worked together before, most in Awarapan (2007) and Awarapan 2 (2025), where even a single shot from Shaad sparked audience reactions. That moment, brief as it was, helped revive his profile.
In 2025, he became an internet sensation after being the only common actor in two sleeper hits, Saiyaara and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat. Since then, he’s been riding a wave of renewed attention. Last month, he posted a photo with Emraan Hashmi and director Aditya Datt on what fans assumed was a casual visit to the sets.
His caption, “#GunmasterG9... Yeh film mein bhi ghuss jao kya?? Kya bolte bhai log?”, now reads like a quiet confirmation. The trailer for Gunmaaster G9 drops tomorrow, November 11.
It’s 2 minutes and 40 seconds long and has received an ‘A’ certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification. The premiere will be held in Pune with a grand launch. Yeh Prem Mol Liya, meanwhile, is positioned as a clean, emotional entertainer. The stakes aren’t just commercial.
They’re symbolic. Can one actor carry two distinct identities across two genres on the same day? The answer won’t come from a press release. It’ll come from the screens.
And the audience. One thing’s certain: no one’s ever tried this before.
