Fawad Khan, Pakistan’s acclaimed actor, is set to make his highly anticipated return to Bollywood in an untitled romantic comedy, starring alongside Indian actor Ridhi Dogra. This marks Khan’s first Bollywood performance in almost nine years since his role in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016). The film, which has completed its paperwork, is currently in the pre-production stage, and fans are thrilled to see him back on the big screen.
Despite earlier reports pairing Fawad with Vaani Kapoor, recent developments have confirmed that Dogra, known for her roles in blockbuster films like Jawan and Tiger 3, will now play the female lead. This change has only heightened expectations as Dogra and Khan promise an exciting on-screen chemistry in this romantic drama.
An International Love Story
The upcoming romantic comedy, still untitled, will be filmed entirely outside of India. Shooting is scheduled to begin by the end of this year, with the picturesque cities of New York and London as the primary locations. These iconic international backdrops are perfectly aligned with the film’s romantic theme, offering a fresh setting for the highly awaited project.

Though details about the film’s director are yet to be revealed, insiders confirm that the project aims for release towards the end of 2025 or early 2026. As the supporting cast is yet to be finalized, the project remains in its early stages, but excitement is already building for Fawad’s return to Bollywood.
A Symbolic Return Amid Diplomatic Tensions
Fawad Khan’s Bollywood return holds special significance as it comes after a lengthy absence following a ban on Pakistani artists in India due to diplomatic tensions between the two countries. Khan, known for his iconic roles in Pakistani dramas Humsafar and Zindagi Gulzar Hai, has remained a beloved figure in both India and Pakistan despite the strained political backdrop.
As Fawad and Ridhi Dogra prepare to film their romantic comedy, this project symbolizes a promising step in reconnecting fans with one of Pakistan’s most celebrated actors. Fans across borders eagerly await the film, which promises to showcase Khan’s undeniable talent and screen presence once again.
