All Pakistani actors including Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan left India, for personal reasons, even before the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) threatened to push them out in the wake of the Uri terror attack.
Days after 18 soldiers were martyred in the terror strike at Uri, the MNS had issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Pakistani actors and artists to leave India by September 25 or else they would be “pushed out.”
Sources, however, say that artists including Fawad Khan, Ali Zafar, Mahira Khan and Imran Abbas have already flown out.
“He [Fawad] is not in India. He is not here since July. He had finished his work for the film and hence his presence was not required further, so he went back,” sources said.
The 34-year-old actor is in Lahore as his wife is expecting their second child.
Fawad will be seen in a cameo in filmmaker Karan Johar’s directorial venture Ae Dil Hai Mushkil . The film's promotions will kickstart in October as the film is scheduled to release on October 28 ahead of Diwali.
According to sources, “As Fawad is having a cameo appearance in the film, he won't be promoting the film.” There are talks of Fawad doing a film with superstar Salman Khan's Production house, but there is no official statement on this yet.
