Pakistani film The Legend of Maula Jatt (2022) has turned out to be a massive blockbuster at the global box office. The film stars popular Pakistani actor Fawad Khan as the titular character with Hamza Ali Abbasi, Humaima Malik, and Mahira Khan also portraying important characters. The Legend of Maula Jatt is the official remake of the Pakistani classic film Maula Jatt, based on the characters and stories by Nasir Adeeb.

The Bilal Lashari directorial has emerged as the highest-grossing Pakistani film worldwide. After winning hearts in several parts of the world, the much-loved film was set to enter Indian theatres soon. The makers were planning to release the film in India on December 23, but even before their plans could materialize, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), a political party active in the Indian state of Maharashtra, has objected to the release of the Pakistani film.

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Ameya Khopkar issued a statement on Friday and openly threatened that her party will not allow a Pakistani film starring a Pakistani actor to be released in India.

“Pakistani actor Fawad Khan’s Pakistani film The Legend of Maula Jatt is planned to be released in India. The most annoying thing is that an Indian company is taking this plan forward. We will not allow this film to be released anywhere in India after Raj Sahab’s order,” Khopkar wrote in his tweet.

In another tweet, Khopkar hit out at the Indian fans of Pakistani actor Fawad Khan calling them anti-nationals and asked them to go to Pakistan to watch the film. Khopkar wrote, “Fans of Fawad Khan, traitors can go to Pakistan and watch the film.”

The Legend of Maula Jatt has been bankrolled by Lashari Films and Ammara Hikmat's Encyclopedia.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has found himself at the centre of a religious controversy after wearing a limited edition watch featuring the Ram Janmabhoomi temple design. The accessory, which was noticed during the promotions of his upcoming film Sikandar, has drawn criticism from Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi, president of the All India Muslim Jamaat.

Maulana Razvi has expressed strong disapproval, stating that as a Muslim, Salman Khan should avoid symbols associated with other religions. He referred to the act as “haram” (forbidden) under Islamic law and urged the actor to be mindful of his influence, especially given his large Muslim fan following.

Varalaxmi Sarathkumar reveals she was abused by six people as a child

In a deeply emotional moment on the sets of Zee Tamil’s dance reality show Dance Jodi Dance Reloaded 3, actor Varalaxmi Sarathkumar broke down while recounting her traumatic experience of being sexually abused as a child.

The curse of Karan Johar: How Bollywood’s ‘star maker’ keeps failing newcomers

A LOT has been said about Karan Johar being a brilliant mastermind when it comes to launching new talent, including children of famous film stars.

While he deserves some credit for working with newcomers, Johar’s track record with aspiring actors is poor, and for many, it has turned out to be more of a curse than a blessing. A strong first film typically sets up a debutant for a solid career in cinema, but when it fails, the individual is often left swimming against the tide. This is exactly what has happened with Ibrahim Ali Khan, whose recently released disastrous debut movie Nadaaniyan has been a major setback.
