After 10 Years, A Pakistani Film Returns to Indian Theatres
For the first time in over a decade, Indian cinema-goers will witness a Pakistani film on the big screen. “The Legend of Maula Jatt,” starring Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan, is set to release in India on October 2, 2024. Originally released in 2022, this action-packed thriller has taken Pakistan by storm and now aims to conquer Indian hearts.
Official Announcement Sparks Excitement
The film’s makers recently dropped a poster on Instagram, revealing the big news. The post read:
“Two years on, The Legend of Maula Jatt is still unstoppable. Witness the epic saga on the big screen in India from 2nd October 2024. Cinema listing to be shared soon.”
The excitement is building as Indian fans await the return of Pakistani cinema after such a long hiatus.
What Is “The Legend of Maula Jatt” All About?
Directed by Bilal Lashari, this epic film centers around a fierce rivalry between the fearsome gang leader Noori Natt (played by Hamza Ali Abbasi) and local hero Maula Jatt (played by Fawad Khan). The movie is a high-octane saga of revenge, honor, and struggle, woven with intense action and drama.
Apart from Fawad and Mahira, the film features Humaima Malik and Saima Baloch, with each actor adding their unique flair to this power-packed narrative.
Mahira Khan & Fawad Khan Pumped for Indian Debut
On their Instagram Stories, Mahira Khan shared the news with an enthusiastic “Let’s go” while Fawad Khan reposted the official poster with quiet confidence. Both stars are thrilled to see their hard work cross borders and land in Indian cinemas.
Bilal Lashari took to Instagram, expressing his excitement for the film’s Indian release:
“Releasing in India, Punjab on Wednesday, 2nd Oct! Two years in, and still house full on weekends in Pakistan! Now, I can’t wait for our Punjabi audience in India to experience the magic of this labour of love,” he wrote.
Why This Release is a Game-Changer
This The Legend of Maula Jatt release comes after a long period of strained relations between India and Pakistan, especially after the 2016 Uri terror attack, which led to a ban on Pakistani artists working in India. However, in a landmark decision, the Indian Supreme Court dismissed a plea that banned Pakistani celebrities from working in the country in November 2023.
Fawad Khan’s Emotional Apology to Indian Fans
In July, Fawad Khan acknowledged his long absence from Indian cinema and expressed heartfelt apologies to his fans.
“I have always been very thankful to fans who have waited for me and I apologise for making them wait for so long. But it was not in my hands,” he said in an interview with PTI. He added, “I’m a firm believer that everything has its own time… Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but there’s also the saying ‘out of sight, out of mind’. This also happens.”
A Look at Fawad and Mahira’s Bollywood Journeys
Fawad has already left a mark in Bollywood, starring in films like Khoobsurat, Kapoor & Sons, and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. His performances gained immense love and appreciation from Indian audiences.
Mahira Khan’s Bollywood Debut with Shah Rukh Khan
Meanwhile, Mahira Khan made her Bollywood debut alongside Shah Rukh Khan in the hit movie Raees. Both actors have maintained a strong fan base in India, and this film promises to re-ignite that connection.
The Countdown Begins: October 2, 2024
Having remained a box-office sensation in Pakistan, “The Legend of Maula Jatt” is all set to make history by becoming the first Pakistani film to be showcased in Indian cinemas after a decade. Indian fans of Fawad and Mahira are eagerly counting down the days to October 2, when they can finally experience this larger-than-life saga on the big screen.
Stay tuned for more updates on the The Legend of Maula Jatt film’s release and be sure to catch “The Legend of Maula Jatt” in theatres this October.
