Indian opposition party MNS reportedly says it will not permit the release of Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan’s movie

A record-breaking Pakistani film The Legend of ‘Maula Jatt’, which made a history in both local and international cinemas, is facing trouble in India day-after its release confirmation in Narendra Modi-ruled country on October 2, Times of India claimed.

Raj Thackery, Indian opposition party Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader has said, “he will not allow to release Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan’s movie in India.

A politician and producer Ameya Khopkar said Pakistani films would not be allowed to release in India. “We will not allow the release of Pakistani films, nor will we allow their artists to work in Indian films.”

Expanding over his threats, Khopkar said: 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.”

The MNS’s action to stop release of the film is yet to be seen as fans and admirers remain excited for release.

Earlier, the Pakistani film, which was produced by Ammara Hikmat and directed by Bilal Lashari, marked a significant milestone in worldwide cinemas. However, the Indian politicians are trying to stop it.

To share the exciting news, the director took to social media expressing his pride that even after two years, The Legend of Maula Jatt continues to witness packed cinemas in Pakistan.

In a heartfelt post accompanying the film’s poster, Lashari shared his excitement for Indian audiences. “I can’t wait for our Punjabi audience in India to experience the magic of this labour of love!” he wrote.

“Releasing in India, Punjab on Wednesday 2nd Oct! Two years in, and still house full on weekends in Pakistan!” he wrote.

Additionally, it should be noted that despite political turmoil and changing diplomatic relations, both Pakistan and India have shared history of artists working in each other’s countries. Popular actors Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Sara Loren, Saba Qamar, Imran Abbas Naqvi, Sajal Ali and Mawra Hocane have worked in Indian cinema. The artists also received adequate admiration for their craft.

Parallel to this, Indian actors including Naseeruddin Shah, Kirron Kher and Shweta Tiwari have previously worked in Pakistani entertainment media.

Furthermore, if there will be no ban on its Indian release, The Legend of Maula Jatt, known for its stellar performances, stunning visuals, and action-packed storyline, will be poised to enchant a new audience across the border, continuing its historic run.
