After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam of Kashmir, India has taken strict steps against Pakistan, whose effect is now clearly visible on the film industry. Due to this atmosphere, Fawad Khan and Vani Kapoor’s upcoming Hindi romantic commen film Abir Gulaal, which was going to be released on 9 May 2025, was engulfed in controversies. First the Government of India banned this film, after which Theatre owners and Distributors also distanced them from the film. After this, Pakistan has also banned this film. After the ban, it is now likely that Abir Gulaal may be released on Ott platforms instead of theaters, although no official announcement has been made on it.
