Rumors’ are swirling about Fawad Khan’s potential return to Indian cinema despite the ongoing ban on Pakistani artists working in India and the reciprocal ban on Indian movies in Pakistan.
According to Filmfare, sources in the film industry have revealed that Fawad Khan has been cast alongside Vaani Kapoor in an upcoming film, which is set to begin production soon.
Fawad Khan, known for his standout roles in Indian films such as Khoobsurat, Kapoor & Sons and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, had to leave Bollywood due to escalating political tensions and the bans that followed. His rumored comeback has sparked excitement among fans and industry insiders.
The film is reportedly scheduled to start shooting in London, with pre-production already completed. While specifics about the project are being kept secret, the producers are aware of the high interest generated by Fawad’s casting and are working to maintain the suspense.
These rumors come despite the bans that have hindered cultural exchanges between India and Pakistan. The ban on Pakistani artists in India was enforced after the 2016 Uri attack, and Pakistan subsequently banned Indian films in response to rising tensions.
