Pakistani actor Fawad Khan won hearts across the nation, when he starred in noteworthy Bollywood films like ‘Khoobsurat’ and ‘Kapoor & Sons’. The actor enjoys a massive fan following in India, however after starring in the 2016 film ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’, the actor had to take a step away from Bollywood, due to the Uri attacks in 2016. However 8 years later, the actor is all set to make a comeback in Bollywood. Reportedly, Fawad is all set to star alongside Vaani Kapoor in an upcoming entertainer.
Back in 2023, The Bombay High Court dismissed a petition that had called for a complete ban on Indian citizens, companies, and associations from collaborating with Pakistani artists, such as actors, singers, musicians, lyricists, and technicians. The court, presided over by Justice Sunil B Shukre and Justice Firdosh P Pooniwalla, declared that the petition represented a “retrograde step in promoting cultural harmony, unity, and peace” and lacked merit.
The Supreme Court on November 28, rejected the plea seeking a ban on the engagement of Pakistani artists in India.
This development came after almost 7 years, since the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA) had passed a resolution to ban Pakistani actors from the industry following the Uri attack. The president of IMPPA, TP Aggarwal had said, “(The) IMPPA in their 87th annual general meeting passed (a resolution that) no Pakistani will be hired by their producer members forever.”
Coming back to the upcoming film, a Filmfare report stated that, “Fawad has been cast with Vaani Kapoor in a film that’s about to go into production soon.” The source also revealed that the shoot of the untitled project will kick-start in London soon. The pre-production of the project is currently underway and the other details have been kept under wraps.
Currently, Fawad is all set to return to Indian screens with a web series titled Barzakh where he would be reuniting with Zindagi Gulzar Hai co-star Sanam Saeed. The show is all set to release on July 19.
