Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan starrer ‘The Legend Of Maula Jatt’ is scheduled to be released on Eid, next year, the same time when Bollywood’s Salman Bhai has decided to release his movie ‘Bharat‘. It will be a clash in Pakistan as well as in the overseas market. ‘The Legend Of Maula Jatt’ will not release in India for now.
Biz analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted about the clash on his Twitter account.
Salman Khan versus Fawad Khan… Pakistan is all set to release its most ambitious film #MaulaJatt on #Eid2019 *in their country* and Overseas… Salman’s #Bharat is also confirmed for #Eid2019, so it will be Khan vs Khan at Pakistan BO… #TheLegendOfMaulaJatt pic.twitter.com/F2wt9eEeO2

The Pakistani film is directed by Bilal Lashari and will make a record with its release. It will be the first movie to be launched in China on the same day as its domestic release. Even the big-budget Bollywood movies have failed to do it.
Both Pakistani actors, Fawad Khan, and Mahira Khan had tried their luck in Bollywood, a few years back until the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA) and the Film Producers Guild of India banned Pakistani artists from working in India.
The former worked in two Bollywood films, ‘Khoobsurat’ and ‘Kapoor And Sons’ and made a special appearance in ‘Aye Dil Hai Mushkil’.
Mahira made her Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Raees’. After the ban, she is working only in Pakistani films.
