Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor’s upcoming film ‘Abir Gulal’ will not be allowed to release in India. The film was slated to release on May 9. The movie faced boycott calls in the wake of the recent terror attack in Pahalgam.
The carnage took the lives of 26 tourists, leaving several injured. The film, directed by Aarti S Bagdi, stirred controversy due to Khan’s casting, given his previous work in Bollywood.
Although the Bombay High Court dismissed a 2023 petition demanding a total ban on Pakistani artists working in India, several political parties and film associations remain firmly opposed to such collaborations.
