After much back and forth, Pakistani film The Legend of Maula Jatt is set to be released in India on Friday, said India Today, quoting Press Trust of India.
As per the report, it will be the first film featuring Pakistani actors to release in the neighbouring country following 2011’s ‘Bol’.
Earlier this month, Indian hardline leader Ameya Khopkar threatened to disallow the release of Pakistani film Maula Jatt in India.
“There are plans to release Pakistani actor Fawad Khan’s Pakistani film ‘The Legend of Maula Jatt’ in India,” Khopkar said on his official twitter handle.
“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 added.
Khopkar, a follower of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray, then labeled Fawad Khan’s fans as traitors, saying they may as well go to Pakistan to watch the film.
