The film ‘Abir Gulaal’ starring Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor faced initial delays in India due to controversies over Pakistani artists. Renamed ‘Aabeer Gulaal’, the movie is now geared up for a worldwide release on August 29. Although its prospects in India seem slim, the film aims for success internationally following proven models in Punjabi cinema. Past successful ventures like ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ and ‘Chal Mera Putt 4’ paved the way for movies with international-only releases. Amid ongoing controversies, the fate of ‘Abir Gulaal’ lies in its global reception.
