Snehil Dixit Mehra, known for her versatile acting and popular digital persona as BC Aunty, has joined the cast of the upcoming action entertainer "Gunmaster G9," starring Emraan Hashmi and Genelia D’Souza. The film, directed by Aditya Datt, promises a dynamic mix of stylized action, drama, and high-energy entertainment.
Mehra, recognized for her roles in the web series "Apharan" and as an episodic director on Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Heeramandi," will portray a primary character in "Gunmaster G9," adding depth and authenticity to the story. Sources indicate that her role is integral to driving the narrative and closely linked to the film's emotional core.
"Gunmaster G9" marks a reunion for Emraan Hashmi with director Aditya Datt, known for their previous collaboration in "Aashiq Banaya Aapne". The film also stars Aparshakti Khurana, adding to the ensemble cast. The film is produced by Deepak Mukut and Hunar Mukut under the Soham Rockstar Entertainment banner.
Mehra's journey in the entertainment industry has been diverse. Before gaining recognition as an actress and social media influencer, she interned at CNBC Awaaz and worked for the entertainment website "Business of Cinema". She also worked in a production house, eventually becoming a Creative Director and writing scripts for dramas.
She made her acting debut in 2018 with ALTBalaji's "Apharan". Despite a brief appearance, her performance was highly praised and went viral on social media. She further showcased her acting talent in the Zee5 web series "Bebaakee".
"Gunmaster G9" is slated for release in 2026 and features music by Himesh Reshammiya, reuniting him with Hashmi and Datt after their successful collaboration in "Aashiq Banaya Aapne". The film is anticipated to deliver a blend of action, drama, and mass appeal.
The film has already generated anticipation, with Emraan Hashmi portraying a gun-toting "doodhwala" (milkman). Teasers have revealed Genelia D'Souza wielding what appears to be a Chinese knife, and Aparshakti Khurana with a hand grenade, hinting at the action-packed storyline.
