Given the recent developments in both Hindi cinema and Hollywood, it is challenging to determine whether today is April Fool’s Day or a day filled with significant announcements. While Spider-Man 4 dominated the news in the West, Indian film enthusiasts were taken aback by the revelation of Pakistani actor and cross-border sensation Fawad Khan's return to Bollywood, starring alongside Vaani Kapoor in a film titled Abir Gulaal. The duo has already commenced filming, and behind-the-scenes images have gone viral. This return is nothing short of a momentous occasion for Khan's fans in India, who have inundated social media with their reactions.

Fans Respond to Abir Gulaal Teaser  

Instagram is awash with heartfelt responses, many of which highlight the sentiment that the world is healing with Fawad Khan's return to Hindi cinema, accompanied by Arijit Singh’s music in a romantic comedy. On X (formerly Twitter), admiration for the star and the film is palpable as fans eagerly anticipate its release in May. Here are some notable comments.
