Intro
The much-anticipated film Abir Gulaal, starring Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor, has not been authorized for distribution in India, according to confirmation from the Press Information Bureau (PIB) and Indian government sources. Recent claims claiming its theatrical debut were false, according to a fact-check. As of September 14, 2025, no “No Objection Certificate” (NOC) or permission has been granted for its publishing.
What prompted the reporting and subsequent fact-checks?
According to several media websites earlier today, Abir Gulaal was scheduled to be launched in Indian theaters upon certification. As a consequence, fans got enthusiastic. Later, however, the Times of India and others questioned the veracity of such allegations. It was discovered that neither the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) nor any other appropriate authority had authorized any formal documentation for its release. The Indian Times
The official statement—PIB’s unequivocal denial
The Press Information Bureau emphasized in a statement that there is no official authority for Abir Gulaal’s release in India. They said that certain reports on social media and news websites are factually inaccurate. The film cannot be distributed in India until all legal and certification processes are completed, according to PIB. No license, NOC, or clearance has been requested or obtained as of yet.
Producers, Vaani Kapoor, and key performers Fawad Khan have not yet spoken.
- Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor, the lead actors, have not officially confirmed or disputed if they have submitted certification documents.
- Producers and distributors of Abir Gulaal have also refrained from making any public announcements after PIB’s explanation.
- Supporters continue to draw conclusions from past failures or the delicate nature of international collaboration.
Requirements for a release to be legal
Before Abir Gulaal is introduced in India, a few things need to be done:
- Submitting the film to the CBFC for review and certification.
- Acquiring a No Objection Certificate (NOC) if required, especially considering the hiring of international personnel.
- Fulfilling all legal obligations, such as those pertaining to digital content licensing, print imports, and taxes.
- Compliance with content filtering regulations and any modifications that the CBFC may demand.
Key Takeaways
- The distribution of Abir Gulaal in India has not been approved, according to official government sources.
- Earlier assertions to the contrary were the consequence of unclear or unverified statements.
- No NOCs or licenses have been filed, approved, or granted thus far by CBFC or any affiliated organizations.
- Until all legal and certification criteria are met, it is unlikely to be released in cinemas.
