After what seems like years, The Legend of Maula Jatt's trailer finally dropped yesterday . It gave us a peek into just how grand Pakistani story telling can be. And it doesn't always have to be a rom-com.
Here's what we know about the movie so far
The Legend of Maula Jatt has been ten years in the making, mostly due
to copyright issues.
It is the remake of a 1979 movie by Yunus Malik. That's what led the copyright issues. The original starred the legendary Sultan Rahi, Mustafa Qureshi and Aasia in the lead roles.
The reboot stars Fawad Khan in the title role and Hamza Ali Abbasi as his arch-nemesis, Noori Natt.
Mahira Khan plays Makhoo Jatti, Maula Jatt's love interest.
Gohar Rasheed and Humaima Mallick are also in prominent roles on the 'Natt' side of the warring clans.
The movie is completely in the Punjabi language.
It is rumored to be the most expensive Pakistani movie to date.
It is directed by Bilal Lashari, who also directed War. It is produced by Ammara Hikmat and Dr. Asad Jamil Khan with music by Sarmad Ghafoor.
The movie is now set for release on 13th October 2022.
