Aarti s. Directed by Bagdi, Abir Gulal is slated to release on 9 May 2025. This romantic drama, described as a cross-border love story, has already shaken the controversy since its announcement-due to the casting of Pakistani actor Fawad Khan. Many fans are urging filmmakers to cast an Indian actor. Social media was filled with boycott tweets targeting Abir Gulal.
The recent tragic incident in Pahalgam has particularly intensified public resentment on social media, where users are questioning the Indian film industry’s decision to cooperate with Pakistani artists amid the ongoing enmity. With increasing calls to pull the film from the release schedule, the backlash is gaining momentum.
The controversy has compared with previous incidents – especially in 2016 Karan Johar’s Baikalash against Ae Dil Hai Mukkil, including Fawad Khan. The film faced widespread opposition after the Uri terror attack on September 18, 2016, causing informal ban on Pakistani actors in the Indian film industry.
