Fawad Khan to make his Bollywood comeback?

Fawad Khan made his Bollywood debut with 'Khoobsurat' in 2014 opposite Sonam Kapoor. He then went on to appear in films like 'Kapoor & Sons' and 'Ae Dil Hai Mushqil'. However, following the Uri Attack in 2016, a ban was imposed on Pakistani artists by the Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association. But back in 2023, the Bombay High Court dismissed a petition that had called for a complete ban on Indian citizens, companies, and associations from collaborating with Pakistani artists, such as actors, singers, musicians, lyricists, and technicians. Now, rumours of Fawad Khan's returning to Bollywood have ignited a wave of excitement among Pakistani actor's Indian fans.
