The Legend Of Maula Jatt was eagerly anticipated by Indian moviegoers, however it wasn’t released in our country. But now there may be good news for the supporters. According to a source who spoke to Bollywood Hungama, “The Legend Of Maula Jatt is anticipated to open in Indian theatres on December 23. The movie has the support of Zee Studios, and they are trying to see that it is made. In the coming week, it will become evident whether the movie will be released in theatres and whether December 23 will be its official release date.
The Legend Of Maula Jatt will likely compete with Cirkus if it opens in theatres on December 23. On the same day, Rohit Shetty’s film with Ranveer Singh also comes out. The competition for screens between Cirkus and Avatar: The Way Of Water, which debuts on December 16, has already begun, an industry insider commented. It will be interesting to see how things play out now that The Legend Of Maula Jatt might potentially enter the fray.
That’s not all, either. Three Bengali movies, Haami 2, Projapoti, and Hatyapuri, are all scheduled to hit theatres on December 23. These movies are all generating a tonne of attention. Zubeen Garg, an actor and singer, will star in Rajneeti Part 1, which will debut in Assam and compete fiercely with the other films.
The popular Pakistani classic movie Maula Jatt from 1979 has been remade as The Legend of Maula Jatt. It narrates the tale of a local folk hero named Maula Jatt and how he vanquishes his adversary, Noori Natt, the head of a vicious tribe. Along with Fawad Khan, it also features Mahira Khan, Hamza Ali Abbasi, and Humaima Malik.
The Uri incident resulted in an unofficial ban on Pakistani films and actors, hence The Legend Of Maula Jatt’s release in India is noteworthy (2016). Fawad played a supporting role in the 2016 film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, which had a difficult time finding a peaceful release.
