Many Pakistani stars like Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan and Ali Zafar have a huge fan following in India. However, after the Uri attack in 2016, Pakistani artists were banned in India. Although now the Pakistani film 'Legend of Maula Jatt' is going to be released in India soon, but millions of fans waiting for the release of this film have got a big shock. Actually, this film is not being released all over India.
According to the information received from India Today.in, the film will not be released all over India but only in some theatres of Punjab. In an interview held in Karachi, the producer of the film Nadeem Mandviwala told that the film is being released only in Punjab in India, not in the whole country. He said that it is expected that the film can still earn well at the box office.
A few days ago, when the news came that the film is finally being released in India, Fawad and Mahira's Indian fans got excited. However, this news is no less than a shock for those fans. This film of Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan created a stir all over the world in 2022. This film made a huge amount of money at the box office.
Can do good business in India
Mandviwala said, "The film can still do good business in Punjab, India as till date it is not available on any OTT platform. As such, it has a great chance of becoming a big hit once again. Although it may take some time as the film is releasing after two years and now there is not as much excitement as it was at the time of its release in 2022, but the mouth publicity of the film can help it earn again."

Releasing only in Punjab
'The Legend of Maula Jatt' is a remake of the 1979 Pakistani film Maula Jatt. Released two years ago, this film proved to be the biggest Pakistani hit at the box office at that time. In such a situation, its makers hope that it will get a good response from the Punjabi audience, because its story is based on Punjabi culture. A source associated with the film said that releasing Legend of Maula Jatt only in Punjab is like a test. Its release in Punjab, India is like a litmus test. In such a situation, if it performs well, then it can be released in other cities in the coming time. The source said, "The release of this film has seen a ray of hope regarding the content coming from the neighboring country and the actors coming to the country."
When will it be released?
A few days ago, the film's director Bilal Lashari also shared information about its release in Punjab in India. He posted the poster of the film on social media and wrote, "Bharat is releasing in Punjab on Wednesday 2nd October! Now, I can't wait for our Punjabi audience in India to experience the magic of this love!" The film was to be released in India in 2022 like other countries. However, many political parties objected to the release and the film could never be released here. In the film, Fawad is playing the role of a man living in a village and is seen fighting against tyranny and injustice.
