Recently, The Legend of Maula Jatt (TLOMJ) was spotted being watched in Dubai by Bollywood’s top director and everyone’s favourite presenter, Karan Johar, and Pakistani fans couldn’t be happier!
At a showing of the epic Punjabi action film in Dubai, Karan was observed watching it and was photographed by a moviegoer in the theatre. Since then, social media has been flooded with images from the screening.
In one of these images, Karan can be seen grinning at the television, and in another, he can be seen walking out of the room as the credits begin to roll and the name of TLOMJ author Nasir Adeeb is displayed behind him.

The Pakistani hit has only been seen by Karan, an Indian public figure. Given that Fawad Khan’s final playing role was in Karan’s Ae Dil Hai Muskil, which was released in October 2016, it is not surprising that Karan attended to see his dazzling return to the big screen. One user added, “He’s very close to Fawad Khan.”
On his social media accounts, the director hasn’t shared anything about the movie or his attendance at its premiere. The director and producer haven’t yet responded to the web images of him that have been circulating.
TLOMJ, the landmark film by Bilal Lashari and Ammara Hikmat that stars Fawad, Mahira Khan, and Hamza Ali Abbasi, has already made history in just its second week of release. TLOMJ is the first Pakistani movie to gross more than PKR 100cr ($4.5 million), claims Deadline.
On its thirteenth day, the highest-grossing Punjabi-language Pakistani movie to date made more money than the combined opening-day earnings of Akshay Kumar’s Ram Setu and Ajay Devgn’s Thank God.
When the journal shared the movie’s box office results, it showed, “The Legend of Maula Jatt has earned PKR115 crore ($5.2 million) as of Tuesday. Of that, PKR33 crore ($1.5 million) comes from within Pakistan and PKR82 crore ($3.7 million) comes from abroad. With £866K ($1 million) through Wednesday, it had the highest Punjabi movie opening ever in the UK.”
The story went on to say, “The epic has earned $728,000 over two weekends in the US and $525,000 through Sunday in Canada. Additionally, midweek performance has been excellent, particularly in the UK, Canada, and Australia.”
