Fawad Khan’s Bollywood Comeback: Not Opposite Vaani Kapoor, but Ridhi Dogra
In a twist to earlier reports, Pakistani cinema heartthrob Fawad Khan is not making his much-anticipated Bollywood comeback alongside Vaani Kapoor. Initial speculation suggested that Khan would return to the silver screen after an eight-year hiatus in a yet-to-be-titled romantic comedy directed by Aarti Bagdi, set to be filmed entirely in the UK.
Recent updates reveal that the ‘Khoobsurat’ star will instead be paired with Indian TV actress Ridhi Dogra, known for her performances in Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster ‘Jawan’ and other notable projects. Sources close to the production have confirmed that Khan and Dogra will be the lead romantic interests in this upcoming film, though the details surrounding the supporting cast remain under wraps.
The project is still in its early stages, with paperwork recently finalized. Filming is expected to commence towards the end of this year, with locations spanning New York and London, making for an exciting cross-continental production. The film is slated for release in late 2025 or early 2026, setting high expectations for fans eager to see Khan back in action.
Fawad Khan’s last Bollywood appearance was in 2016’s ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.’ Since then, the actor has been largely absent from the Indian film industry due to the ban on Pakistani artists following the Uri attack and subsequent diplomatic tensions between India and Pakistan.
As fans await more news about this exciting project, Ridhi Dogra continues to make waves in the industry, further solidifying her position as a rising star in Bollywood.
