An overseas entertainment publication confirmed the news, revealing that various filming locations in and around London are currently being utilized.
Director Aarti S. Bagdi explained, “The film explores the journey of two individuals who unintentionally help each other heal, with love blossoming as an unexpected consequence,” according to Variety.
The producers of Abir Gulaal expressed excitement for the project, stating, “Fawad has a massive global fan base, and we anticipate that audiences and his fans will wholeheartedly embrace this film, as it showcases him in his most endearing role yet. The chemistry between Fawad and Vaani is expected to light up the screen with their captivating performances and undeniable charm.”
Co-produced by Vivek B. Agrawal, Avantika Hari, and Rakesh Sippy, production will continue in the UK throughout October and November, with a release expected by late 2025 or early 2026.
The cast is rumored to include Malaika Arora and Ridhi Dogra, who are set to join the crew in the UK next month.
Fawad Khan’s last Bollywood film was Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016), prior to the ban on Pakistani artists in India following heightened tensions between the two countries.
