The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has issued a letter to Badshah to clarify if his upcoming show, Badshah’s Un-Finished Tour, is getting funded by Pakistani nationals. His tour is scheduled to take place in Dallas in September.
“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 says.
The FWICE clarifies that they stand "in alignment with the directives issued by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Government of India" which explicitly instructs all artistes, performers, and technicians in the Indian entertainment industry to avoid any professional collaborations or performances involving Pakistani nationals or organisations linked to Pakistan.
"These measures are in place considering the continuing acts of terrorism and hostile activities directed against India from across the border," the letter says.
“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."
In fact, they also sent a letter to Kartik Aaryan after allegations surfaced that he was set to attend an Independence Day event in Houston, USA, organised by a Pakistani-owned restaurant. However, Kartik’s team later clarified that he had no association with the event.
