Pakistani actor Fawad Khan and Bollywood actress Vaani Kapoor have officially completed the filming of their much-anticipated romantic comedy, Abir Gulaal.
Filming Milestone: 40 Days in London
The duo wrapped up a 40-day shooting schedule in London, marking a key milestone in the production of the film. Directed by Aarti S. Bagdi, known for Chalti Rahe Zindagi, Abir Gulaal is set to be a cross-cultural romantic comedy, focusing on the dynamic chemistry between Khan and Kapoor.
The film is produced by Indian Stories, A Richer Lens, and Aarjay Pictures. Following the completion of filming, the next step will be screening the film for select audiences, with plans for an international promotional campaign. The team also intends to showcase Abir Gulaal at major global film festivals before its theatrical release, which is slated for the latter half of 2025 in India.
Plot and Cast Details
In Abir Gulaal, Fawad Khan portrays a UK-based chef, while Vaani Kapoor stars opposite him. Lisa Hayden is also part of the cast, contributing to the movie’s star power.
A Promising Addition to the Romantic Comedy Genre
Co-produced by Vivek B. Agarwal, Avantika Hari, and Rakesh Sippy, Abir Gulaal is expected to bring a fresh and exciting approach to the romantic comedy genre, drawing considerable interest due to Fawad Khan’s return to Bollywood after his role in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016), his last Bollywood film before the ban on Pakistani artists in India.
Anticipation and Expectations
With its vibrant setting, promising performances, and cross-cultural themes, Abir Gulaal has already generated significant buzz. Fans are eagerly awaiting the film’s release in 2025, and more details about the project are expected to follow.
