Abir Gulaal movie news
When Fawad Khan announced his return to Bollywood with Abir Gulaal, fans were ecstatic to see him on the big screens. His chemistry with Vaani Kapoor in the teaser and the film`s songs increased the intrigue. However, the recent Pahalgam attack changed it all for the Pakistani actor.
The recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam killed 27 civilians, including tourists, which shook the whole country. This also had the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) urge boycotting Fawad and other Pakistani artists from India again.
Amid the same, both songs from Abir Gulaal, namely Khudaya Ishq and Angreji Rangrasiya, have been deleted from YouTube India. Since the terror attack in Kashmir, the angst against the film has been increasing.
