Bilal Lashari's much-awaited directorial, The Legend of Maula Jatt finally has a release date!

The movie will hit cinemas on Eid-ul-Fitr 2019; the flick, starring Mahira Khan, Humaima Malick, Fawad Khan and Hamza Ali Abbasi, (Ali Azmat will also make a cameo!) will also become the first film from Pakistan which will release in China the same day as its domestic release.

Talking to Images, Lashari shared, “This film will connect with an international audience as much as our core audience."

According to a press release, China has a limited quota for foreign films and so, only a handful of movies make the cut after thorough scrutiny by the Chinese regulatory authorities. Till date, a few Hollywood movies (such as Spider Man 2, Captain America, X Men and Jurassic World) have been able to score a Chinese theatrical release overlapping with US domestic & worldwide release.

The upcoming flick is said to be Pakistan's most expensive production to date.

Holy moly! That is quite a transformation for Hamza. And we haven't even seen any pics for Fawad. Hope the movie lives up to all the hype. Good luck to everyone involved with it.

This is excellent move. It is cultural interaction. We should send more of our directors, actors, audio, technical staff etc abroad to west for learning to come back and produce epics. We have super talent.

If I didn't know better, looking at the pic I would say Fawad Khan has put on alot more muscle than Hamza.

Maula Jatt of yesteryears destroyed Pakistani cinema. why are we going back there? This is not our Punjab or Punjabi culture.

Can't wait to see the movie. Maula Jatt and the great Sultan Rahi are a phenomenon of Pak cinema.
