LAHORE (Cultural Reporter): Another major achievement for the Pakistani film industry as renowned director Bilal Lashari and acclaimed film producer Ammara Hikmat blockbuster film The Legend of Maula Jatt is set to release in cinemas across China on May 21, 2026. Following the announcement of the film’s release in China, excitement has spread across Pakistani showbiz circles and among film enthusiasts.
Film producer Ammara Hikmat shared the exciting news on her Instagram page, where she appreciated the efforts of renowned film distributor Nadeem Mandviwalla and thanked him for his contribution.
According to details, The Legend of Maula Jatt has already achieved tremendous success in Pakistan and around the world and is regarded as one of the highest-grossing Pakistani films of all time. The film earned international acclaim due to its unique storyline, breathtaking cinematography, modern action sequences, and world-class production quality.
The movie stars some of Pakistan’s leading actors, including Fawad Khan, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Mahira Khan, and Humaima Malik in lead roles. The film’s characters and dialogues were also highly appreciated by audiences.
Film experts state that China’s film quota system is considered one of the strictest and most exclusive in the world, where only a limited number of foreign films are granted release permission each year under the revenue-sharing quota system. Major international productions, including Hollywood films, compete intensely to secure a place within this quota.
In such a competitive environment, the selection of The Legend of Maula Jatt for China’s revenue-sharing quota system is being regarded as a historic achievement for Pakistan and the Pakistani film industry. The release of a Pakistani film in one of the world’s largest film markets is not only proof of the global standard of Pakistani cinema but could also open doors for more Pakistani films to enter international markets in the future.
The release of The Legend of Maula Jatt in China is expected to become a significant milestone for Pakistani cinema. It is anticipated that the film will attract Chinese audiences as well and further strengthen the global recognition of Pakistan’s film industry.
Showbiz circles have praised the efforts of Bilal Lashari and Ammara Hikmat, stating that the success of their film is helping Pakistani cinema establish its place in the international market and that this achievement is a matter of pride for the entire Pakistani film industry.
