Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi has been diagnosed with Influenza A and swine flu, according to a medical test report. The actor, who recently returned to the spotlight following the success of Awarapan 2, was forced to postpone his scheduled Bengaluru appearance after falling unwell.
Emraan Hashmi was expected to perform at a show in Bengaluru but could not attend because of his health. The actor later informed fans through an Instagram Story that the event would be postponed.
According to the report, Hashmi has tested positive for Influenza A virus and swine flu. While the actor confirmed that he was unwell, he did not publicly disclose the details of his diagnosis in his social media update. Reports said that he is recovering and has been advised to rest.
Why Did Emraan Hashmi Postpone His Bengaluru Event?
Hashmi was scheduled to appear at a Bengaluru show but had to withdraw after falling ill.
The actor apologised to fans and announced that the event had been rescheduled. He reassured his audience that the show had not been cancelled permanently.
In his message, Hashmi said the Bengaluru event would now take place on September 12, 2026, at Sunburn Union. He also confirmed that tickets purchased for the original date would remain valid for the new date.
The postponement comes shortly after the actor made his return to live performances following a long gap.
Emraan Hashmi’s Message To Fans
Hashmi addressed his Bengaluru audience directly after his health setback.
He said he was “really unwell” and apologised for being unable to attend the scheduled show. At the same time, his message struck a positive note as he told fans that the event was only postponed.
The actor’s assurance that existing tickets would remain valid is expected to come as a relief to fans who had planned to attend the performance.
Emraan Hashmi’s Recent Career Success
The health update comes at an important time in Hashmi’s career.
His latest film, Awarapan 2, has been receiving attention at the box office and has become one of the major talking points around the actor’s recent work.
The film marks his return to the popular Awarapan franchise and has helped bring renewed attention to his career.
Hashmi was also preparing for his upcoming action film Gunmaaster G9, directed by Aditya Datt. The movie stars Genelia Deshmukh and Aparshakti Khurana alongside Hashmi and is scheduled to release theatrically on November 27, 2026.
What Happens To The Bengaluru Show Now?
The Bengaluru event has been rescheduled for September 12.
Hashmi’s original announcement made it clear that the show was being postponed rather than cancelled. Fans holding tickets for the earlier date have been told that their tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled event.
For now, the actor’s immediate priority is his recovery. His health update comes as he continues to remain in the spotlight following the success of Awarapan 2 and ahead of his upcoming film commitments.
With the Bengaluru performance moved to September, fans will now have to wait a little longer to see Hashmi return to the stage.
