Fawad Khan is making us fall in love with his dreamy eyes as he hugs Vaani Kapoor in BTS FIRST LOOK from Abir Gulaal

Pakistani actor Fawad Khan and Indian actress Vaani Kapoor are teaming up in the upcoming romantic comedy Abir Gulaal for the first time. Now, a picture of the duo from the movie is making rounds on social media and that has heightened the anticipation among fans. 

Set in London, the film began shooting on September 29, 2024, and is helmed by Aarti S Bagdi, known for Chalti Rahe Zindagi. Indian Stories produce the project in collaboration with A Richer Lens and Aarjay Pictures.

In the widely shared photo, Fawad and Vaani are pictured lying on the ground, with Kapoor resting her head on Khan’s chest. Khan’s dreamy eyes and Vaani’s infectious smile are all that caught our attention. Isn’t that simply romantic?

The makers also excited about Fawad’s massive global fan base, and thus anticipate that audiences will wholeheartedly embrace this film. As per the makers, the film will showcase Fawad in his most endearing role yet.

“The film explores the journey of two individuals who unintentionally help each other heal, with love blossoming as an unexpected consequence,” Bagdi said, according to Variety. The team is also looking forward to the chemistry between Fawad and Vaani. The film is produced by Vivek B Agrawal, Avantika Hari and Rakesh Sippy. 

The film will be shot in the UK in October and November. The team also shared that a leading Bollywood music composer has already created six original tracks for the film which will be sung by Bollywood’s best music talent.

Khan’s last appearance in Bollywood was in Karan Johar’s 2016 romantic drama Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, where he starred alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma.

Previous reports suggested that Fawad Khan might return to the Indian film industry alongside Vaani Kapoor and Ridhi Dogra, with a cameo in Kartik Aaryan’s much-anticipated horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. However, the only officially confirmed project for Khan in India is Abir Gulaal.

Khan’s comeback to Bollywood is particularly noteworthy given the 2019 directive by the All Indian Cine Workers Association, which imposed a complete ban on Pakistani actors and artists in response to the Pulwama attacks.

Before that, in 2016, the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association had also prohibited Pakistani actors, singers, and technicians from working in India due to rising tensions between the two nations.

Happy Birthday Bruno Mars: Revisiting Singer’s Top 7 Tracks Of All Time As He Turns 39

Bruno Mars, the global superstar known for his electrifying performances and timeless hits, turns 39 today. To celebrate his birthday, we’re looking back at some of his most iconic songs, which have topped charts and won hearts around the world.

Bruno has created several unforgettable tracks that combine pop, funk, R&B, and soul. Here are his top 7 songs that have stood the test of time.

1. Just the Way You Are (2010)

Bruno Mars’ debut single, Just the Way You Are, introduced his beautiful voice and superb lyrics. Released in 2010, this love ballad instantly became a fan favorite, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks.

Its message of unconditional love and self-acceptance connected with listeners, resulting in a timeless anthem for people of all ages. The song earned Bruno his first Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, establishing his place in the music industry.

2. Grenade (2010)

After the success of Just the Way You Are, Bruno Mars released Grenade later that year. This passionate ballad about love that is not reciprocated showed his ability to convey strong emotions through genuine, heartfelt words.

The song’s melancholy melody, backed by a dramatic piano riff, drove it to number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Grenade solidified Bruno’s reputation for delivering emotionally powerful songs, and it continues to resonate with listeners dealing with heartbreak or unrequited love.

3. Uptown Funk (2014)

In 2014, Bruno collaborated with Mark Ronson on the explosive hit Uptown Funk. The lively, uplifting track dominated airwaves and dance floors, becoming one of the decade’s unforgettable songs.

With its infectious rhythm and engaging lyrics, Uptown Funk topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 14 weeks, solidifying its place in pop culture. The song earned a Grammy Award for Record of the Year and remains a popular party anthem.

4. Locked Out of Heaven (2012)

Bruno Mars’ musical style shifted with the release of Locked Out of Heaven, which came in 2012. The song, which included rock, pop, and reggae influences, introduced a more experimental sound to his discography. Fans and critics alike compared it to The Police, praising Bruno’s ability to cross genres.

The energetic track reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained there for six weeks. Its upbeat tempo and vivid lyrics about the joy of love made it a smash success and a fan favorite.

5. When I Was Your Man (2013)

Bruno Mars’ 2013 song When I Was Your Man, a very personal ballad about lost love and regret, had little production. The song, which had a basic piano melody, highlighted Bruno’s powerful vocals and emotional depth.

The lyrics focus on missed opportunities in a relationship, creating a realistic and heartbreaking story. When I Was Your Man topped the Billboard Hot 100.

6. 24K Magic (2016)

24K Magic, the title track from Bruno Mars’ third studio album, evoked the glitz and glamour of the 1980s. The song, released in 2016, became a party anthem thanks to its groovy basslines, bright lyrics, and catchy hook.

With its blend of nostalgia and modern flair, 24K Magic reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and received many Grammy Awards. The song has Bruno Mars’ signature happy, carefree vibe, making it a fan favorite for anyone eager to celebrate and let loose.

7. The Lazy Song (2011)

The Lazy Song, released in 2011, was an instant hit because of its laid-back, feel-good vibe. The song celebrates the joy of doing nothing, with acoustic guitar chords and a whistle-infused melody adding to its playful charm.

The music video, which featured Bruno Mars and dancers wearing monkey masks, boosted the song’s popularity. The Lazy Song reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and is still a nice, relatable anthem for anyone trying to take a break and relax.

“Tremendous Development In Last 10 Years”: Haryana Chief Minister On Counting Day

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini visited Saini Samaj Dharamshala in Kurukshetra today, shortly before the counting of votes for the assembly election, and expressed confidence the BJP would retain power in the northern state.

Mr Saini contested the election from Ladwa constituency of Kurukshetra district. He said the BJP’s work on the development front in the last 10 years will ensure the party sails through this time, too.

The exit polls have forecast a Congress win in both Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir – though exit polls often get it wrong.

“We have done a lot of development work in the last 10 years. The kind of system set up by former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar will continue to bring benefits for Haryana for a long time,” Mr Saini told reporters this morning.

“It is our responsibility to take this good work forward,” he added.

The Haryana assembly has 90 seats. Postal ballots will be counted first, followed by electronic voting machines (EVMs) 30 minutes later.

Haryana Chief Electoral Officer Pankaj Agarwal said 93 counting centres have been set up for the 90 assembly constituencies in 22 districts of Haryana.
