Fawad Khan Bollywood return is set to create waves as he stars alongside Ridhi Dogra in an upcoming romantic comedy, according to multiple Indian news outlets. The news surrounding Fawad Khan Bollywood return has generated significant excitement among fans and industry insiders alike.
A source close to the project revealed that Fawad Khan and Ridhi Dogra have officially been cast as romantic interests in the film, though details regarding supporting actors remain under wraps. “The paperwork was only recently completed, confirming Fawad Khan’s Bollywood return alongside Ridhi Dogra. The director’s identity is still being kept secret,” the insider shared.
Filming for this exciting project is set to begin at the end of this year, with plans to release the film by late 2025 or early 2026. The movie will be shot in several stunning locations, including New York and London, aligning perfectly with its romantic theme. Interestingly, the production will not include any filming in India, a detail confirmed by PinkVilla.
Earlier this year, there were rumors about Fawad Khan starring alongside Vaani Kapoor, which Filmfare reported would go into production soon. Additionally Fawad Khan has multiple Bollywood projects lined up, including an appearance in Kartik Aaryan’s highly anticipated comedy-horror film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, slated for release in November.
Fawad Khan’s last Bollywood role was in Karan Johar’s 2016 romantic drama Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, where he shared the screen with notable stars such as Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, the talented actor mentioned his ongoing relationship with Karan Johar and the Kapoor family.
“I’m in touch on and off. We talk via chat and on the phone, maintaining a good relationship with the Kapoor family. There’s still a lot of love and respect between us,” Fawad Khan stated.
Fawad Khan’s Bollywood return comes at a pivotal time, especially after the Bombay High Court dismissed a petition aimed at banning Pakistani artists in India. This landmark decision was celebrated for promoting cultural harmony and unity. Following the ruling, the Supreme Court of India also rejected a subsequent plea, encouraging broader perspectives on the matter.

The significance of Fawad Khan return to Bollywood is underscored by the industry’s previous challenges, including a total ban on Pakistani artists by the All Indian Cine Workers Association in 2019 and earlier restrictions imposed by the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association in 2016 due to political tensions.
