Original filmmakers withdraw cases filed against 'Legend of Maula Jatt'

LAHORE (Dunya News) – Sarwer Bhatti, the producer of the original film, has withdrawn all cases against The Legend of Maula Jatt and attributed the decision on his desire for the welfare of local cinema.

In a statement, Bhatti said, “In my career I struggled a lot for the welfare of local cinema and film industry. If the film industry could be strengthened by withdrawing the case, then I will do so. Surely more volume of local releases across the country would benefit the industry.”

“When I produced the trend setter Maula Jatt, like today our cinema was in crisis at that time. While the film industry in the country has witnessed a revival, the Punjabi cinema is still facing certain issues. I hope that The Legend of Maula Jatt plays an important role in reviving the local cinema,” he said.

However, now, the producers are expected to release the movie on Eid-ul-Fitre this year.
