The upcoming Pakistani movie Maula Jatt 2 is possibly the most talked-about movie in the nation! Since Waar director, Bilal Lashari announced that he is making a reboot of the golden Lollywood saga, all eyes are upon him and people are eager to know more about the tale.
Recently in an interview Nasir Adeeb who completes his 412th film in the coming year say that according to the Registration Act in Pakistan, the rights of characters in a film return to the writer, however he has officially handing over the rights of his iconic dramatis to director Bilal Lashari and Executive Producer Ammara Hikmat, CEO Encyclomedia, for its anticipated reboot.
Bilal is the one who came to me with this idea and I was very shocked, because he doesn’t speak in Punjabi at all, but wants to reboot the original film – but in Punjabi, and the film is set during an era he, himself hasn’t witnessed,” he began of his early encounter with the Waar director. “And it’s all the more interesting to know that our producer, Ammara and none of Bilal’s assistants converse in Punjabi either. Knowing Bilal, one can expect him to set trends and break norms. Any ordinary film-maker wouldn’t dare putting his stakes on a Punjabi language film after directing a blockbuster hit. His regard for our language and culture is what brought me into this project,” he said.
Hamza Ali Abbasi, Fawad Khan and Humaima Malick have given us a heads up about their beefed up look for the movie.
The hard reboot has evolved so much that it is a complete revamp of the story and will be totally new for the movie-buffs.
Well we hopes Nasir Adeeb forthcoming installment crosses the 100 Crore mark, setting new records. Rational, seemingly pragmatic and clearly vehement about cinema, Maula Jatt is one film that we anticipate; it goes without saying.
