This news is a delight for all Indian fans as the heartthrob was away from Indian cinema for almost eight years since the ban on Pakistani artistes after the 2016 Uri attack.
Besides acting, Fawad Khan is also a producer, screenwriter, songwriter and singer who is known for his work in films and television.
He made his film debut with a supporting role in the social drama, Khuda Kay Liye (2007), one of Pakistan's highest-grossing films.
Coming to his Indian projects, Fawad made his debut in Bollywood with the Sonam Kapoor starrer Khoobsurat, a romantic comedy-drama by Shashanka Ghosh. He played the role of a young handsome prince named Vikram Singh Rathore which then led to his mammoth fanbase here. The actor was known for his deep voice, polished acting skills and suave.
Although he was last seen in Karan Johar’s 2016 romantic drama Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, many remember him for his remarkable performance as a closeted gay writer in the 2016 family drama Kapoor & Sons.
Meanwhile, Vaani Kapoor received critical acclaim for playing a trans character in the 2021 rom-com Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui. She will also be seen in the Netflix crime thriller series Mandala Murders and coming-of-age Bollywood drama-comedy Badtameez Gill.
