The film marks a significant return for Pakistani actor Fawad Khan to Indian cinema. Khan gained popularity in India through television shows like ‘Zindagi Gulzar Hai’ and subsequently appeared in Bollywood films including ‘Khoobsurat’ (2014), ‘Kapoor & Sons’ (2016), and ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ (2016). His return to Indian screens after several years is generating considerable interest among fans.

For Vaani Kapoor, ‘Abir Gulaal’ is one of two major projects releasing in May 2024. The actress is also appearing in ‘Raid 2’ alongside Ajay Devgn and Riteish Deshmukh, which is scheduled to release on May 1.

The film appears to be produced by Aarjay Pictures with Vivek Bagrawal among the producers. The creative team includes Aarti S. Bagdi and Avantika Ha, who have been tagged in the promotional posts for the project. The film seems positioned as a return to traditional romantic storytelling, with its tagline “Bringing Love Back” suggesting a focus on emotional connection and romance.
