While on one hand Pakistani star Fawad Khan's superhit film 'The Legend of Maula Jatt' is going to be released in India on October 2, on the other hand there is news that Fawad Khan is ready to make a comeback in Bollywood after 8 years. Earlier it was being said that he is making a comeback by doing a film with Vaani Kapoor. But now it is being said that Fawad will make a Bollywood comeback with actress Riddhi Dogra.
Fawad Khan's last Bollywood film was Karan Johar's 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil', which was released in 2016. Before this, Fawad Khan was seen in 'Kapoor and Sons'. But after the Uri terror attack that same year, Pakistani stars were banned from working in India. However, in 2023, the Bombay High Court lifted this ban. This means that now Pakistani stars can work in the Indian film industry.
It is being said about this film of Fawad Khan and Riddhi Dogra that it will be a romantic comedy drama. Both of them will be the lead stars of the film. However, the supporting cast has not been finalized yet. If the report is to be believed, the film is still in its initial stage and only paperwork has been done. In this film, Fawad Khan and Riddhi Dogra will be seen romancing on screen. However, it has not been revealed yet who will direct the film.
Pinkvilla's report quoted the source as saying that both Fawad Khan and Riddhi Dogra are busy right now, so the shooting of this film will start at the end of this year. This film can be released at the end of 2025 or early 2026. It is also reported that Fawad and Riddhi Dogra will shoot this film abroad, in which locations like New York and London can be chosen.
In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Fawad Khan shared, “I am in contact with Karan Johar and Ranbir Kapoor and we talk anytime. Sometimes on chat and sometimes on phone. I have a very good relationship with the Kapoor family. We plan to meet somewhere, so we talk sometimes. We have a very good friendship.”
There is a ruckus in India over the release of Fawad's blockbuster film 'The Legend of Maula Jatt'. MNS leader has threatened that if any Pakistani star comes to India to promote the film, his hands and legs will be broken. At the same time, Raj Thackeray has also said that he will not allow the release of any Pakistani actor's film in India under any circumstances.
Actress Riddhi Dogra, famous for series and shows like 'Asur', 'Maryada: Lekin Kab Tak?', 'Diya Aur Baati Hum' and 'The Married Woman', is a well-known name in the TV industry as well as Bollywood. She has appeared in the role of Kaveri Amma in Shahrukh Khan's blockbuster film 'Jawaan'.
