Abrar ul Haq, a renowned Pakistani singer, recently discussed his decision to reject a major offer from India during the latest episode of the Hafiz Ahmed Podcast. During the conversation, he shared insights into his offers from Bollywood, including a movie proposal featuring actress Katrina Kaif.
Speaking in Urdu, he explained, “Yes, I got several movie offers from India, and there was also an album deal. But I didn’t understand their contract which restricted speaking on certain topics such as Kashmir… A country that supports free speech shouldn’t impose such conditions. So I declined those offers.”
Abrar ul, without specifying the name or timing of the film offer, added, “There’s a company called Eros; they offered a movie. The actress was Katrina Kaif. My friends were after me, saying, ‘If you don’t want to do it, at least let us go!’ But I didn’t want to do movies [In India]… they called me excitedly and even said, ‘No one has ever refused us, but you have. No one has ever told us they don’t want to do our films. We thought you’d come running.'”
In other news from 2022, Abrar ul made headlines when he announced plans to take legal action against Karan Johar and T-Series for allegedly using his song in their film JugJugg Jeeyo without permission. The song, ‘The Punjaabban,’ featured in the Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani-starring movie’s trailer led to Abrar ul’s protests on Twitter, claiming he had not sold the song to anyone. T-Series responded by stating they had ‘legally acquired’ the rights to the song, which is also posted on the Lollywood Classics’ YouTube channel.
