Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) supremo Raj Thackeray has strongly warned Maharashtra theatre owners against screening the Pakistani blockbuster film, The Legend Of Maula Jatt, in the state. He has also threatened them with dire consequences if they choose to screen the film in the state.

Pakistani movie The Legend Of Maula Jatt starring Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan is releasing in India after two years of its initial release. But now theatre owner in Maharashtra have been warned against it by MNS.

Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan, who have acted in Indian films, face opposition from Maharashtra Navnirman Sena regarding the release of 'The Legend of Maula Jatt' in India. Raj Thackeray urged theater owners to avoid screening the film to prevent potential conflict during the Navratri festival.

Political leader Raj Thackeray has advised against the release of Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan's film 'The Legend of Maula Jatt' in Maharashtra. The film is the first Pakistani film to be released in India since the ban on Pakistani artists was lifted.

Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan's The Legend Of Maula Jatt finally got a release date in India. It will be releasing only in Punjab on October 2. Ahead of that, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena Cinema Wing's President Ameya Khopkar objected and threatened to beat any Pakistani actor entering the country.

MNS chief Raj Thackeray warned of action against theatre owners if the Pakistani film, 'The Legend of Maula Jatt' was released in India on October 2. He said the movie would not be allowed to screen in Maharashtra.

In December 2022, shortly after it took Pakistan’s movie industry by storm, The Legend of Maula Jatt was scheduled to hit Indian theatres. However, its release was opposed by certain political groups and subsequently cancelled.
