Rumors are swirling that Bilal Lashari’s blockbuster The Legend of Maula Jatt is set to make its Indian debut this September. Hindi film enthusiasts, brace yourselves: the 2022 hit is on its way to Indian cinemas, as reported by India Today. The film’s release across the border seems imminent, generating considerable buzz.
Sources suggest that Zee Studios might be handling the film’s release in India, paving the way for this high-profile movie despite some resistance from far-right groups like the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS).
Starring a stellar cast including Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Hamza Ali Abbasi, and Humaima Malick, The Legend of Maula Jatt was a major success in Pakistan, captivating audiences and becoming the highest-grossing Punjabi film of all time. Its arrival in India marks the first Pakistani film to be screened there since Bol in 2011, making it a highly anticipated event.
In its fourth week of release, the film topped the global box office charts, setting several records including being the highest-grossing Pakistani film, the second-highest-grossing film in the UK for 2022, and the most-watched South Asian film in Norway.
The Legend of Maula Jatt, a remake of Yunus Malik’s 1979 classic Maula Jutt, explores the epic conflict between Maula Jatt and Noori Natt. The film has been a tremendous hit, playing on over 500 screens across 25 territories and consistently drawing large crowds. The film’s popularity has led to continuous additional screenings to meet demand.
The movie features a notable cast including Mirza Gohar Rasheed, Faris Shafi, Ali Azmat, Nayyer Ejaz, Shafqat Cheema, Raheela Agha, Zia Khan, and Saima Baloch.
