Indian movie fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of Fawad Khan to Hindi films, and their wait is finally over. After an eight-year hiatus, Pakistan’s heartthrob is poised to make a much-hyped comeback to the big screen, this time opposite Bollywood actress Vaani Kapoor

.According to sources within the Indian film industry, Fawad Khan has been cast in a romantic comedy that is set to begin production in London soon. The pre-production of the project has already been secured, and other details are currently being kept confidential.

“Fawad Khan has a massive international pull given his popularity amongst South Asians worldwide. He has also been a part of the Marvel cinematic universe. Details of this project are being kept under wraps and everyone is tight-lipped about it. The producers will announce this project just before it starts its filming schedule in the UK,” a trade source was quoted as saying.

The yet-to-be-titled film will tell the story of how two broken people come together by a stroke of luck and end up helping each other and ultimately falling in love. It marks Eastwood Studios’ first international collaboration.

Fawad Khan’s fans in India are extremely excited about his return to Hindi cinema. The actor last starred in a Hindi-language film eight years ago, with notable appearances in movies like ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’, ‘Kapoor and Sons‘, and ‘Khoobsurat’.

In 2016, Fawad and other Pakistani artists were at the center of a controversy after the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA) imposed a ban on them working in Indian films following the Uri attacks. However, in October 2023, the Bombay High Court dismissed a petition seeking to ban Pakistani actors, performers, and technicians from working in India.

The upcoming film with Vaani Kapoor promises to be a treat for fans of both actors. With Fawad Khan’s international appeal and Vaani Kapoor’s rising star power, the movie is expected to generate a lot of buzz and excitement among moviegoers.
