“I am pretty sure given the quality and efforts put into the making of the film and its brilliant cast, Maula Jatt will be a big hit in Indian Punjab,” Mandviwalla further added.

‘The Legend of Maula Jatt’, starring Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan was released in Pakistan 2 years ago and was a record-breaking success, grossing around PKR 400 crore globally.
