The highly anticipated teaser for Abir Gulaal, the upcoming romantic comedy starring Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor, has been released, giving fans a first look at Fawad’s Bollywood comeback.
The teaser, dropped on Tuesday, showcases the electric chemistry between the Pakistani heartthrob and Bollywood diva Vaani Kapoor, set against the picturesque, rainy backdrop of London.
In the brief yet captivating teaser, Fawad serenades Vaani with the iconic song “Kuch Na Kaho” while they are stuck in traffic inside a car. This playful moment leads to a charming exchange where Vaani asks, “Are you flirting with me?” to which Fawad responds with a suave, “Do you want me to?” This dialogue has already sparked excitement, with fans eagerly anticipating their on-screen romance.
Directed by Aarti S. Bagdi, Abir Gulaal tells the story of two wounded souls who unexpectedly find healing and love. Produced by Indian Stories, A Richer Lens, and Aarjay Pictures, the film is set to hit theaters on May 9, 2025. It promises a perfect blend of romance, laughter, and heartfelt moments, making Fawad’s return after eight years all the more exciting.
In a recent radio interview, Vaani Kapoor spoke fondly of Fawad, admitting to being a huge fan of his work. She shared, “I’ve seen a couple of his shows on streaming platforms, and I love him. Audiences in India have always admired him for his craft and talent as an artist." Kapoor emphasized her admiration for Fawad’s artistry, focusing on his talent rather than any external factors.
Fawad Khan's last Bollywood appearance was in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016). After the strained relations between India and Pakistan following the Uri attack, Pakistani artists were banned from working in India, making Abir Gulaal a highly awaited project for his fans.
