Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor's Abir Gulaal songs removed from YouTube amid backlash over Pahalgam attack
Mumbai/IBNS: Pakistani actor Fawad Khan and Indian actress Vaani Kapoor starrer film Abir Gulaal's songs have been taken down from YouTube by the makers in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 tourists, mostly Hindus, on April 22.
The Khudaaya Ishq and Angrezi Rangrasiya tracks, which were earlier released, have now been taken down from the official YouTube channels of A Richer Lens Entertainment and Saregama.
The third song Tain Tain was scheduled to be released on Wednesday.
But the release was postponed in the wake of the Islamist terror attack that took place in the Baisaran Valley, a popular tourist spot with stunning scenic views in South Kashmir's Pahalgam.
As per government sources quoted by several media, the film will be banned from release in India amid the backlash over the India-Pakistan collaboration.
The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has also threatened action against the makers for such a collaboration, a report by The New Indian Express said.
The terror attack, which has drawn widespread condemnation from the world leaders, has led India and its arch-rival Pakistan to a fresh confrontation, a major one since the Pulwama terror attack which was also backed by Pakistan-based militant group, Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) in 2019.
After several diplomatic strikes on Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday promised a retaliation and said the terrorists and their backers will pay unimaginable costs for the attack on innocent tourists.
Addressing a rally in Bihar's Madhubani, Modi said: "From the soil of Bihar I tell the whole world that India will identify them and punish every terrorist and their backers. We will pursue them to the end of the earth. India's spirit will never be broken by terrorism. Terrorism will not go unpunished."
