Aabeer Gulaal is not releasing in India, as announced by Press Information Bureau (PIB). This came months after Aabeer Gulaal's trailer was removed from YouTube India. The much-anticipated romantic drama was originally scheduled to hit Indian cinemas on May 9, but the release never took place. Since then, the film has been surrounded by speculation regarding its theatrical debut in the country.

In recent days, several reports began circulating, suggesting that Abir Gulaal would finally see its Indian release on September 26. However, these claims have now been officially addressed. The PIB has stepped in to clarify the matter, firmly dismissing the reports.

About Aabeer Gulaal: Aabeer Gulaal, a romantic comedy film starring Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor, was initially set to release on May 9, 2025. However, due to the 2025 Pahalgam attack and subsequent India-Pakistan diplomatic tensions, the film's release was postponed. Directed by Aarti S. Bagdi and produced by Vivek Agrawal, the film follows the story of two wounded souls who find solace in each other's company and develop a profound connection that blossoms into love.

The incident not only shook the nation but also reignited debates over the involvement of Pakistani artists in Indian entertainment projects. In the weeks that followed, there were persistent and widespread boycott calls targeting the film, given that Fawad Khan is a Pakistani actor. These sentiments quickly escalated, casting a shadow over the project and prompting the makers to indefinitely postpone its release plans in India.
