Fawad Khan Returns To Bollywood With Abir Gulaal Starring Vaani Kapoor; First Look Out Now

Indian fans of Pakistani actor Fawad Khan can finally rejoice as the actor is all set to make his much-awaited Bollywood comeback with a romantic comedy titled Abir Gulaal. In this film, Fawad will share the screen for the first time with actor Vaani Kapoor, marking an exciting new pairing.

Fawad has been absent from Indian cinema for about eight years, following the ban on Pakistani artists after the 2016 Uri attack. Now, he’s making his return with this film, which is set against the picturesque backdrop of London and is scheduled to start filming on September 29. Directed by Aarti S Bagdi, the story revolves around two individuals who, in helping each other heal, discover that love can blossom in the most unexpected of ways.

The filmmakers are eager to tap into Fawad’s global fan base, expecting audiences to warmly welcome his return to Bollywood. According to them, Fawad will be seen in one of his most charming and endearing roles yet.

There’s also much anticipation around the on-screen chemistry between Fawad and Vaani, which the producers—Vivek B Agrawal, Avantika Hari, and Rakesh Sippy—believe will be a highlight of the film. The shoot will take place in the UK during October and November, and the team has revealed that a top Bollywood music composer has already created six original tracks for the film, to be performed by some of the industry’s leading singers.

Abir Gulaal is shaping up to be a delightful blend of romance, comedy, and music, with Fawad’s return adding an extra layer of excitement for fans.

Meanwhile, Fawad Khan, known for his performances in Hindi films like ‘Khoobsurat’ and ‘Kapoor & Sons,’ is set to return to Bollywood after an eight-year break. Following the 2016 Uri attacks, Fawad paused his Indian cinema career due to the ensuing border closures but is now making a comeback.

Moreover, the buzz in Pakistani entertainment circles suggests that Fawad has been roped in for a cameo in Kartik Aaryan’s highly anticipated comedy horror movie, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3,’ directed by Anees Bazmee.
