For those who don't know, the action film features Fawad Khan in the lead role. The Pakistani heartthrob became a popular actor in India. In fact, half of the Indian girls were die-hard fans of the Pakistani heartthrob. But due to the ban, Fawad Khan and many Pakistani actors were left with no work in India.
For the uninitiated, the film was released in Pakistan in 2022, and it broke all records. It is a remake of the 1979 cult film, Maula Jatt. The movie gained a lot of traction, earning Rs. 400 crore globally and becoming Pakistan's highest-grossing film to date.
