'The Legend of Maula Jatt': Mahira's intense poster wins hearts
As we await the release of the Pakistani period drama The Legend of Maula Jatt, the makers have dropped an intense poster of its leading lady, Mahira Khan. Directed by Bilal Lashari, the Pakistani Punjabi language film is gearing up for release on October 13. This new poster comes days after the makers dropped the poster of its male lead Fawad Khan.
Why does this story matter?
News about the film has been making the headlines for a while. Director Lashari had earlier confirmed in an interview with Variety that the film has been in the making for a decade. In fact, the official first look of the mega-budget venture was dropped back in 2018. And since it's apparently the most expensive Pakistani film by far, expectations are pretty high.
What does the poster show?
Dressed in red traditional Pakistani attire, Mahira can be seen holding a copper pot in her hand. Her dreadlocks and bohemian jewelry add more charm and grace to the actor's look making the poster organic. She shared it on Instagram and captioned the post, "Don't think y'all are prepared #Mukkho #TheLegendOfMaulaJatt is releasing in cinemas worldwide on the 13th of October."
