Pakistani actor Fawad Khan is set to make his return to Indian cinema with a romantic comedy co-starring Vaani Kapoor. The project will be directed by Aarti Bagdi and will be filmed entirely in the UK.
"Fawad Khan has a massive international pull given his popularity amongst South Asians worldwide. He has also been a part of the Marvel cinematic universe. Details of this project are being kept under wraps and everyone is tight-lipped about it. The producers will announce this project just before it starts its filming schedule in the UK," a trade source was quoted as saying.
The romantic comedy will revolve around two broken individuals who come together by a stroke of luck, help each other heal, and ultimately fall in love. This yet-to-be-titled film marks Eastwood Studios' first international collaboration.
Fans in India are thrilled about Fawad Khan's return, as his last Hindi-language film was eight years ago. He has previously starred in Indian films such as Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Kapoor & Sons, and Khoobsurat.
Fawad was last seen in the 2016 film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, directed by Karan Johar. The film also starred Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, and Aishwarya Rai.
