While there has been no official announcement from the producers just yet, stylist Ashley Rebello has confirmed that he will be styling Fawad for the film, according to Pinkvilla.

My Punjabi Nikaah is a romantic comedy loosely based on My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Fawad will play a nawab's son in the film - a Muslim who falls in love with a Hindu girl.
The film has been on the backburner since 2005 and was initally supposed to star Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan, but for some reason did not manage to kick off. Sohail Khan later confirmed that Salman Khan would not be a part of the project due to date conflicts.
If it goes ahead, this project would be an addition to the growing list of Bollywood films that the Pakistani hearthrob has under his belt. Fawad Khan made his Bollywood debut in 2014 opposite Sonam Kapoor in Khoobsurat, and soon found himself surrounded by film offers.

He is currently working on Battle for Bittora, also opposite Sonam Kapoor, and will soon start shooting for Kapoor and Sons opposite Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra. He has also made several TV appearances in India, showcasing his singing skills.
