Fawad Khan, whose acting has made a special place in the hearts of Indian audiences, is now going to make a comeback in Bollywood with his new film ‘Abir Gulaal’. He will be seen opposite Vaani Kapoor in this romantic comedy film. The trailer and songs of the film had already become a topic of discussion among the audience, and the release date of the film was fixed on May 9.
Pahalgam terror attack impacts film release
After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, voices of protest against Pakistani artists and films have intensified in India. Many organisations and social media users have appealed to boycott Pakistani artists, which has put the Indian release of the film in jeopardy. According to sources, now ‘Abir Gulaal’ will not be released in India. Two songs from the film, “Khudaya Ishq” and “Angrezi Rangrasiya”, have also now been removed from YouTube India, which clearly shows that there is confusion about the future of the film.
Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor fees
Fawad Khan’s acting in the film was being discussed, but now his fans are disappointed as the film is not available for Indian audiences. At the same time, the makers of the film have not yet confirmed whether the film will be released in India or not.
While Fawad Khan was very excited about his comeback, he set a very big standard for this film. While Fawad Khan charges Rs 15 lakh for a TV episode in Pakistan, he has charged Rs 5 crore for ‘Abir Gulaal’. At the same time, Vaani Kapoor has been given an amount of Rs 1.5 crore for the film. This film is a major milestone in Fawad’s career, but now that it is not available to Indian audiences, he and the film’s producers are worried about the situation.
The film future in trouble
Amidst all this, it will be interesting to see how the film’s makers face this challenge and if any solution is found for the film. The expectations of the audience and the film’s producers will now decide the way forward.
