Mahira Khan also shared how challenging it was to act in an unfamiliar language, Punjabi. “No matter what project I promote I’m asked about ‘The Legend Of Maula Jatt.’ This was a unique experience for me as an actor, learning to act in a language that I don’t know specifically was a challenge that I enjoyed. I believe that great things happen when hard work and patience are combined,” she said.
The film is produced by Ammara Hikmat’s Encyclomedia and Lashari Films.
