Abir Gulaal Controversy: Indian Film to Release Worldwide Under New Name

By Sharad Rai

Abir Gulaal Controversy: A Hindi film made by a Bollywood maker is in trouble these days. The reason is that the Indian audience cannot watch the film, while the audience of 78 countries across the world will be able to watch the film. (Abir Gulaal is a Bollywood film starring Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor) The pain of the makers of the film is that they will not be able to hear the applause of their well-made film from the audience of their country. And even the posters of the film cannot be seen pasted on the walls in Bollywood city. Yes, we are talking about the upcoming film 'Abir Gulaal'.

'Abir Gulaal' (whose name itself has the fragrance of Indian culture and festival) is to be released on 29 August 2025 (Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor's controversial Abir Gulaal). The tragedy of that film is that it is not being released in India. The reason is also very well known - the embarrassment between the two countries (India and Pakistan). The hero of the film is Fawad Khan, who is from Pakistan, and his presence in the film has become the enemy of the film. After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, due to the deteriorating relations between India and Pakistan, every Pakistani artist is banned in India, and their film cannot be released in our country. Fawad's presence in 'Abir Gulaal' has created problems for the film.

New information has come about the film of producer Vivek Agarwal and director Aarti S Bagdi that which is releasing on 29 August 2025 all over the world except India. The name of the film has also been changed. Earlier, the name of the film was written in English alphabet as ABIR GULAAL, and now the name will be changed and the film will be released as Abir Gulaal. It is not known what difference will be made by doing this. I have heard that this change has been made on the suggestion of a Tantrik.

What is in the movie? (What is in the Abir Gulaal movie?)

Now, since the film is not being released in India due to the ban imposed on Pakistan, it is natural that people are curious to know what is in the film. This is a love story in which love is shown to happen from the heart and not from chemistry.

Gulaal Bajaj (Vaani Kapoor) leaves her arranged marriage and reaches London, where she meets Abir Singh (Fawad Khan). Abir is a broken person who runs a restaurant and has gone through a lot in his life. Abir and Gulaal meet at times during a dance and sometimes during a security clash at night, which keeps getting worse and slowly turns into a deep thought. Riddhi Dogra is also in a lead role in the film. Other actors and characters of the film are - Lisa Haydon (Laila), Farida Jalal (Nani), Soni Razdan (Sushma), Parmeet Sethi (Suresh), Hiten Patel (Suri), etc. The music director of the film is Amit Trivedi, and the music company is Saregama.

How will it be displayed? (How will it be displayed, Abir Gulaal?)

To showcase "Abir Gulaal", the makers of the film have adopted the strategy of the film 'Sardar Ji 3'. Let us tell you that actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh's film was also to be released after the Pahalgam terror incident, but it was stopped. The heroine of 'Sardar Ji 3' was Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. Because of that, the film could not be released in India. 'Sardar Ji 3' was released in Pakistan and other countries of the world. The film earned well in Pakistan and was successful because the curiosity of the audience there had increased due to the film being banned in India. Now, a similar atmosphere seems to be building up again for the film 'Abir Gulaal' starring Fawad Khan.

Abir Gulaal is now going to be released with a changed spelling in all countries of the world, apart from Pakistan; the audience will not be able to see this film in India. The film, which started shooting in London on 29 September 2024, was to be released on 9 May, but was not allowed to release due to the Pahalgam accident. Now it will be released worldwide on the new date of 29 August 2025, but will not be released in Indian theatres. The producers of the film are Vivek Agarwal, Feruji Khan, Rakesh Sippy, Avantika Hari, and the director is Aarti Bagdi.
