Fans of Fawad Khan in India were an excited lot after they learned that his comeback Bollywood film, Abir Gulaal, was all set to release on May 9. But following the shocking Pahalgam attack on April 22, the industry was up in arms against Pakistani artists working within the Bollywood film industry. The opposition was huge and consequently, Abir Gulaal was postponed indefinitely. Many feared that the film might never see the sunshine of day. However it has now come to light that Abir Gulaal is all set to release, that too this month.
Fawad Khan-Vaani Kapoor starrer Abir Gulaal expected to release on August 29 globally: Report
As per a report in Biz Asia Live, Abir Gulaal will arrive in cinemas globally on August 29. The identical report also mentioned that the film has been renamed as Aabeer Gulaal.
The report doesn’t mention anything in regards to the India release. But as per industry sources, going by the anger against Pakistani artists, it’s unlikely that Abir Gulaal could be allowed a release within the country.
An industry insider commented, “The makers of Abir Gulaal will go the Sardaar Ji 3 way. The Diljit Dosanjh-starrer didn’t get a release in India because it starred Pakistani actress, Hania Aamir. It went on to do huge business overseas. One other Punjabi film, Chal Mera Putt 4, also had a release only outside India and it also became an enormous success.” It now stays to be seen if Abir Gulaal also follows the footsteps of those two Punjabi hits, when it comes to box office.
Before the Pahalgam attack, the promotions of Abir Gulaal were happening in full swing. The music launch, which was held in Global Village, Dubai, on April 19, got an enormous response from fans and media. But all modified after the Pahalgam attack. Two days after the attack, the songs of the film were pulled down by the audio company, Saregama.
