Fawad Khan, a Pakistani heartthrob, basked in the glory of his most recent film, which has officially crossed Rs. 1,000 million (100 crores) locally and $10 million globally at the box office. At the same time, the rest of the globe was busy celebrating the New Year.
CNN interviewed Fawad Khan on New Year’s Eve to discover more about the success of the Pakistani film industry as a result of the buzz surrounding Bilal Lashari’s magnum opus.
The newest movie starring Pakistani actor Fawad Khan breaks records
“Your movie, The Legend of Maula Jatt, is doing great business both domestically and abroad,” the host enquired. Do you view 2022 as a pivotal year for you?
Fawad Khan said,
It’s been a significant deal for me, but I’m only a little component of the overall setup. In general, it has been a big year for Pakistani cinema. It will have a significant impact on the years to come in terms of industry standards, business, and even filmmaking style because of the kind of business this movie did and the boundaries it pushed.
He said that it has been a very long period since the industry has returned, and even longer since it has spread so much around the world.
The hero of The Legend of Maula Jatt also talked about his movie’s potential Indian distribution and what it would entail for both nations.
That would be fantastic, he remarked. If it did, it would be a fantastic way to shake hands. I imagine it’s similar to the treats and gifts we exchange with one another during Eid and Diwali.
That sort of interaction occurs between film and music. But let’s see, things are still a little hot.
The Legend of Maula Jatt
The Legend of Maula Jatt, which was written and directed by Bilal Lashari and has dialogue by Nasir Adeeb, stars a cast that includes actors like Hamza Ali Abbasi as Noori Natt, Mahira Khan as Mukkho Jatti, and Humaima Malick as Daaro Natti. Mirza Gohar Rasheed, Faris Shafi, Ali Azmat, Shafqat Cheema, and Nayyer Ejaz make up the supporting cast.
This epic Punjabi picture is setting new standards for the Pakistani film industry, from its record-breaking run at the Pakistani box office, despite hitches and screening concerns, to outperforming Bollywood films in the global market.
In other news, the release of Legend of Maula Jatt in India was slated for December 23, 2022, but it was postponed for unknown reasons. The most recent reports, though, indicate that its publication has been postponed.
