Bilal Lashari wrote the screenplay for his big project along with legendary film writer Nasir Adeeb, who wrote the script for original Maula Jatt which was released in 1979. The movie is also known as the most expensive film to come out in South Asian country by far.
Ammara Hikmat and Bilal Lashari were embroiled in years long legal battle with Sarwer Bhatti as the latter moved court over copyright infringement, maintaining that his company owned the rights to the Maula Jatt story.
The project has finally been free from all legal entanglement as the producer of the original film ended the legal tussle.

The movie’s first look teaser released in 2019 garnered thunderous response for its top-of-the-line graphics, star cast and mega-scale production.
The original Maula Jatt is one of the most commercially successful films to come out of Pakistan. Bhatti’s classic was released in 1979 starring legendary Sultan Rahi as the lead and Mustafa Qureshi as the villain.
