Pahalgam attack: Fawad Khan’s ‘Abir Gulaal’ songs, teaser deleted from YouTube, Instagram

The teaser and songs of Pakistani actor Fawad Khan’s upcoming Bollywood flick ‘Abir Gulaal’ have been removed from YouTube and Instagram.

Following the terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam area of held Kashmir and subsequent cross-border tensions, calls to ban Abir Gulaal began trending across social media. Now, it seems those demands are gaining ground as production companies have taken down all promotional content related to the film.

According to India Today, songs such as Khudaya Ishq and Angreji Rang Rasiya — which had already racked up millions of views — have also been removed from YouTube. The music was released under the banner of Saregama, which had earlier launched the soundtrack at a grand music event in Dubai on April 20.

Not just the songs, but the film’s official teaser — initially released in early April by Dharma — has also been deleted from both YouTube and Instagram. However, Fawad’s co-star Vaani Kapoor still has the teaser up on her personal Instagram account.

With all traces of Abir Gulaal vanishing from official platforms, speculation is growing that the film may face a ban or cancellation in India due to the involvement of Fawad, a Pakistani actor.

While the film’s team is yet to release an official statement regarding a delay or possible shelving of the project, some industry insiders believe that the producers are now considering pulling the film entirely in light of recent events.
