Pakistani actor Fawad Khan and Bollywood actress Vaani Kapoor have officially completed filming for their eagerly awaited romantic comedy Abir Gulaal.
The duo wrapped up a 40-day shoot in London, marking a major milestone for the film.
Directed by Aarti S. Bagdi, known for Chalti Rahe Zindagi, Abir Gulaal is expected to be a cross-cultural film that showcases the chemistry between Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor. The movie is produced by Indian Stories, A Richer Lens, and Aarjay Pictures.
With filming now complete, the next phase involves screening the film for select audiences. Plans are underway for international promotion, including showcasing the film at prominent global film festivals.
Following its festival circuit, the film’s theatrical release will be determined. Abir Gulaal is expected to hit theaters in India in the latter half of 2025.
In the film, Fawad Khan plays a UK-based chef, while Vaani Kapoor stars alongside him. Lisa Hayden also features in the cast.
Co-produced by Vivek B. Agarwal, Avantika Hari, and Rakesh Sippy, Abir Gulaal is set to be a refreshing addition to the romantic comedy genre.
The film has generated considerable excitement, especially due to Fawad Khan’s return to Bollywood after his last appearance in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil in 2016, prior to the ban on Pakistani artists in India.
With its vibrant setting, promising performances, and cross-cultural themes, Abir Gulaal is one of the most anticipated films of 2025. Further updates on the project are expected soon.
