Pakistan’s most anticipated film ‘The Legend of Mola Jat’ has cleared a major hurdle in its release and has allowed promoters to start pre-booking shows from the weekend.
The film’s promoters announced on Tuesday that the film has cleared a major hurdle by getting a clearance certificate from the Sindh Censor Board. The certificate may also pave the way for the film to obtain a clearance certificate from other regional censor boards.
Advance bookings
Meanwhile, the promoters of the big-budget movie have announced that pre-booking for shows at cinemas across the country will commence from September 30.
This will allow a sufficient period for the film to secure pre-launch sales and provide an early measure of audience attraction towards the movie before its release and prior to any reviews coming out.
Apart from releasing in Pakistan, the movie is also getting a simultaneous international release, having secured screenings with major cinemas in the UAE, Australia, US, UK and other countries.
Directed and written by Bilal Lashari, The Legend of Maula Jatt is a remake of Yunus Malik’s 1979 classic Punjabi-language film, which centers on the legendary rivalry between Maula Jatt and Noori Nath.
The movie’s first teaser was released in 2019, but due to the global pandemic and a legal battle – a copyright lawsuit filed by the original Maula Jatt’s producer – against the movie, it got delayed, but now TLOMJ will hit the theaters on October 13 this year all over the world.
