Since the incident, the much-anticipated film’s release remained in jeopardy as some Indian film bodies started opposing the release of Abir Gulaal due to the lead actor’s Pakistani citizenship.
The film, which was already facing challenges regarding its release in India, is now embroiled in further controversy, with its music being pulled from various platforms.
The songs ‘Khudaaya Ishq’ and ‘Angrezi Rangrasiya’ have been taken down from Saregama’s and the film’s official YouTube channels and other platforms. The tracks were released earlier this month.
Earlier, The Indian Express reported that the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) called for a boycott of Pakistani artists.
