Pakistani actor and heartthrob Fawad Khan, known for his stellar performances in Bollywood hits like Khoobsurat, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, and Kapoor & Sons, is set to make a grand return to the Indian film industry. After a significant hiatus, Khan has asked his fans for their forgiveness and patience.

In a recent interview with PTI, Fawad expressed his gratitude to his Indian fans, saying, "I have always been very thankful to fans who have waited for me, and I apologize for making them wait for so long. But it was not in my hands." He emphasized his belief in the adage that everything happens in its own time. He also acknowledged the saying, "absence makes the heart grow fonder," while pointing out the flip side, "aankh ojhal, pahaad ojhal" (out of sight, out of mind).

Fawad Khan first rose to fame in the subcontinent with his roles in popular Pakistani dramas like Dastaan, Humsafar, and Zindagi Gulzar Hai. His Bollywood career, although promising, faced setbacks due to strained India-Pakistan relations. Despite this, Khan remained active in international projects and Pakistani cinema.

Reports now suggest that Fawad is preparing for a Bollywood return after nearly eight years, with a new film starring alongside actress Vaani Kapoor. Known for his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Khan's upcoming project is being kept under wraps. The producers plan to reveal details just before the filming schedule begins in the UK, with Aarti Bagdi set to direct.

The untitled romantic comedy will tell the story of two broken individuals who serendipitously come together, support each other, and eventually fall in love. This film marks Eastwood Studios' first international collaboration.

The news of Fawad Khan's Bollywood comeback has generated immense excitement among his Indian fans, who eagerly await his return to the silver screen.
