The Pakistani film The Legend Of Maula Jatt, starring Fawad Khan, will release in India on December 30. It was earlier scheduled to release in the subcontinent on December 23. Apart from Fawad, the well-acclaimed film also stars Mahira Khan, Hamza Ali Abbasi, and Humaima Malik.
“The Legend Of Maula Jatt will be released in India on December 30, 2022. It’ll be the last major release to hit Indian screens. It was released in Pakistan and elsewhere in the world on October 13, 2022,” reads a Bollywood Hungama report.
The report also stated that the film will have a limited release that too only in the Delhi-NCR and Punjab region. “Zee Studios is mainly looking at releasing The Legend Of Maula Jatt in Delhi-NCR and Punjab. This is because it’s a Punjabi film and will have the maximum chance in the Northern belt. A clear decision on this aspect will be taken later on.”
Earlier, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Ameya Khopkar had said that his party would not let the film release in India.
“There are plans to release Pakistani actor Fawad Khan’s Pakistani film ‘The Legend of Maula Jatt’ in India. It is most infuriating that an Indian company is leading this plan. Following Raj Saheb’s orders we will not let this film release anywhere in India,” he had tweeted.
The Legend of Maula Jatt has been praised by the masses and critics worldwide. Its world box office has crossed Rs 200 crore.
The film is touted to be a remake of the 1979 cult Pakistani classic Maula Jatt and is helmed by Bilal Lashari.
