New Delhi: There have been strong reactions as speculations mount over the release of Pakistani actor Fawad Khan’s ‘The Legend of Maula Jatt’ in India. There have been no official announcements regarding the film’s release in India.
On Friday, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Ameya Khopkar took to Twitter to share a threatening post against the Pakistani film’s 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 tweeted.
In a separate tweet, he added, “Fawad Khan’s fans, traitors may very well go to Pakistan and watch the film.”
Fawad Khan earned a fan following in India leading roles in ‘Khoobsurat’ and ‘Kapoor & Sons’. However, rising political tensions between India and Pakistan led to Pakistani actors and musicians being banned from working in India and ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ (2016) was his last Bollywood film.
The Punjabi language film, ‘The Legend of Maula Jatt,’ is one of the biggest budgeted in the history of Pakistani cinema. It is a reboot of Yunus Malik’s 1979 cult classic ‘Maula Jatt’. The film focuses on the legendary rivalry between a local hero Maula Jatt and Noori Natt, a gang leader. Director Bilal Lashari, whose debut feature “Waar” (2013) broke box office records in Pakistan, has reimagined the story for a global audience, reports Variety.
The movie, which also stars Pakistani actress Mahira Khan was released theatrically worldwide on October 13.
