Mumbai (Maharashtra) August 3 Fardeen Khan is making a grand return! After captivating audiences with his role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's series 'Heeramandi', the actor is now set to appear in 'Khel Khel Mein'.

MA's vision and dedication have made this project special for all of us, and I feel very fortunate to be involved. To the entire cast and crew, whose talent and passion have brought this story to life beautifully, each of you has added something unique to the film, making it a pleasure to work together. I will always be grateful for the warmth, love, and respect shown to me during this project; you made me feel so welcomed after a long absence. Thank you."
In his post, he also extended his gratitude to his audience for their ongoing support.
"To my family, friends, and fans—your unwavering support over the years has been my strength. This comeback wouldn't have been possible without your love and encouragement. I hope Khel Khel Mein resonates with you and brings as much joy to your hearts as it has to ours. Thank you for being part of this journey. Let’s make this a grand and memorable return together! The game is on August 15th at a cinema near you," he concluded.
