‘Abir Gulaal’ Songs Removed From YouTube

The release of Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor’s film ‘Abir Gulaal’ has encountered significant challenges following the tragic Pahalgam terror attack on April 22nd. Amid growing calls for a boycott, the film’s two released songs, ‘Khudaya Ishq’ and ‘Angreji Rangrasiya’ have been removed from YouTube India. These tracks previously available on the production house’s channel A Richer Lens Entertainment and Saregama’s official handle, are no longer accessible. The removal appears to be a response to widespread criticism of the collaboration between Indian and Pakistani artistes in light of the attack. Additionally, the planned release of a new song ‘Tain Tain’ has been postponed. This controversy has cast a shadow over the film which was set to mark Fawad Khan’s return to Bollywood. The situation underscores the sensitivity surrounding cross-border collaborations in the current climate.
