But only in Delhi and Punjab. However, days before the release, the CBFC stalled the film in the country. Reacting to the same, Fawad told CNN, “That would be great, obviously. If it were to happen, it’s a great way to handshake. It is kind of like those sweets and delights we send across to one another on Eid and Diwali. Films and music is that kind of an exchange. But things are a bit heated still, let’s see. I’ve heard it may release and it may not. So, let us see.” Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Ameya Khopkar strongly opposed The Legend Of Maula Jatt’s release in India. There was a ban on Pakistani artistes after the Pulwama attack in 2019 as imposed by the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA). In 2023, the Bombay High Court dismissed a petition to ban Pakistani artistes from working in India. The Legend of Maula Jatt is an adaptation of the 1979 Pakistani cult classic film of the same name.
