The much-anticipated release of The Legend of Maula Jatt, starring Pakistani actors Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan, has been officially canceled for India. Despite widespread excitement and rumors of the film’s debut in Indian theaters, the Indian distributor has confirmed that it will not be released in the country.
Directed by Bilal Lashari, The Legend of Maula Jatt is a remake of the 1979 classic Pakistani film Maula Jatt. The film has received massive acclaim in Pakistan and globally for its high production value and stellar performances by Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan. However, political tensions between India and Pakistan have hindered the possibility of Pakistani films screening in India.
The distributor stated, “Due to current geopolitical reasons, the film will not be released in Indian cinemas.” The decision comes as a disappointment for fans of both Fawad and Mahira, who have a significant fan following in India, largely due to their roles in popular TV dramas and Bollywood films.
Despite its absence from Indian theaters, The Legend of Maula Jatt continues to garner international attention, being the highest-grossing Pakistani film ever and receiving widespread recognition in multiple markets outside South Asia.
