Ae Dil Hai Mushkil will not mark the first time that Karan Johar will be casting Pakistani actors in his film. Only recently, Fawad Khan was seen shooting in the upcoming Dharma Production film, Kapoor and Sons, alongside Siddharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt.

Looking back, the actor has previously appeared in two notable Indian films, Creature 3D and Jaanisaar. Adding further, Imran recently starred as an air force pilot in his music video, Sher Dil Shaheen. The music video for the Rahat Fateh Ali Khan song was dedicated to the newly-established Special Service Wing of Pakistan Air Force and presented Imran amid exciting footage of F-16 and JF-17 aircrafts.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is lined up for a Diwali release next year.
