Fans of Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor just received an exciting Eid gift—the teaser for their upcoming film, Abir Gulaal, along with its official release date. The much-anticipated film is set to hit cinemas on May 9, 2025.
The teaser, released on April 1, is no April Fool’s prank. It showcases Fawad and Vaani’s on-screen chemistry, as they gaze dreamily into each other’s eyes while sitting in a car.
Described as a heartwarming love story, Abir Gulaal unfolds in the picturesque streets of London. The film promises to be a mix of unexpected twists, tender moments, and pure magic, wrapped in a visually stunning narrative.
"Audiences can expect a delightful blend of laughter, tender moments, and the undeniable chemistry between Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor," reads the official synopsis.
The cast also features Lisa Haydon, Riddhi Dogra, Farida Jalal, Soni Razdan, Parmeet Sethi, Rahul Vora, Amrit Sandhu, Sujoy De, and Dev Agrawal. The film is directed by Aarti S Bagdi.
The teaser’s description places Fawad Khan’s name at the top of the cast list, sparking excitement about his screen time in the film. This marks a significant moment, as Khan’s previous Bollywood films—Khoobsurat (opposite Sonam Kapoor) and Kapoor & Sons (alongside Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra)—earned him widespread praise before Pakistani actors were banned in Bollywood.
Since then, Fawad has focused on Pakistani cinema, with his biggest project being The Legend of Maula Jatt, where he played the titular role. Most recently, he starred alongside Sanam Saeed in the series Barzakh.
Meanwhile, Vaani Kapoor is known for her roles in War, Befikre, and the upcoming Raid 2 alongside Ajay Devgn.
With Abir Gulaal, fans are eager to see Fawad Khan return to a cross-border collaboration, and if the teaser is anything to go by, this film is set to be a cinematic treat!
