It’s been about 48 hours since the horrific Pahalgam terror attack took place, claiming the lives of over 46 tourists. Since this horrific attack, the cry to ban Fawad Khan's Abir Gulaal's release in India has been growing louder, and now reports have come in that the movie will actually not be released in the country. Government sources have claimed that they will not let the movie release in the country.
As per Hindustan Times, sources said, "The movie Abir Gulaal, starring Pakistani actor Fawad Khan, will not be allowed to release in India." This action has come in hours after the demand for a ban grew following the terror attack in South Kashmir's Pahalgam on Tuesday.
Earlier yesterday, Ashoke Pandit, President of the Indian Film & Television Directors' Association, had called for a boycott of those who work with Pakistani artists. Meanwhile, the President of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) took a firm stance against the release of Abir Gulaal.
While Ashoke Pandit said, "We will issue an order that anyone who works with Pakistani artists will be boycotted by the industry,” Tiwari stated, "We will not let Abir Gulaal release in India. Action will be taken against the makers (if they release the film).”
Fawad Khan on the horrific attack
Fawad Khan posted on his official Instagram stories, "Deeply saddened to hear the news of the heinous attack in Pahalgam. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this horrifying incident, and we pray for strength and healing for their families in this difficult time."
About the Pahalgam terror attack
A terror attack broke out at the Pahalgam hill station in Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantnag district on Tuesday. Over 20 tourists, including Indians and two foreigners, were shot dead by terrorists in the valley.
According to reports, two to three terrorists wearing army fatigues opened fire on horse-riding tourists in the Baisaran area around 2:30 p.m. Baisaran is a small meadow located 3 to 4 km from the Pahalgam market, and tourists typically ride horses to reach the spot as there is no motorable road.
