Badshah's USA Tour Sponsored By Pakistanis? FWICE Sends Letter, Demands Clarification
Scheduled to take place in Dallas on September 19, 2025, Badshah's show is allegedly sponsored by a company owned and operated by Pakistani nationals. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has issued a letter to Badshah seeking clarification about his upcoming show, 'Badshah's Un-Finished Tour'. Scheduled to take place in Dallas on September 19, 2025, the show is allegedly sponsored by a company owned and operated by Pakistani nationals. 'Dear Mr. Badshah, It has come to our attention that you are scheduled to perform in an upcoming event Badshah Un-Finished Tour at the Curtis Culwell Centre in Dallas, USA, on the 19th of Sept 2025 which is reportedly being sponsored by 3Sixty Shows, a company owned and operated by Pakistani nationals," the letter reads. 'As you are aware, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), in alignment with the directives issued by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Government of India, has clearly instructed all artists, performers, and technicians in the Indian entertainment industry to refrain from engaging in any professional collaborations or performances with Pakistani nationals or organizations connected to Pakistan. These measures are in place considering the continuing acts of terrorism and hostile activities directed against India from across the border," it added. Seeking clarification from Badshah, the letter further stated, 'In light of this, we request your immediate clarification regarding your association with this event and the said organizers. We trust that as a respected Indian artist, you will uphold the sentiments of the nation and the directives issued by FWICE and the Government of India. Your prompt response will be appreciated so that we may take the necessary steps in accordance with our regulations." For the unversed, Indian artists were asked not to work with Pakistani artists following the Pahalgam attack in April 2025. India launched a counter-terror strike on Pakistan roughly 2 weeks after the Pahalgam attack, and destroyed the majority of the terror infrastructure across Pakistan. Amid the tensions between India and Pakistan, the Government of India also issued an advisory to OTT platforms, media streaming services, and intermediaries regarding content originating from Pakistan. All streaming platforms were advised to discontinue Pakistan-origin content, including films, web series, songs, and podcasts, with immediate effect. Social media accounts of Pakistani actors were also banned in India. First Published: August 14, 2025, 14:52 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
