Maula Jatt Production Story
The director gave a statement about the upcoming film Maula Jatt which is an adaption of the film Maula Jatt. He quoted:
“This will be my take on gandasa films, which are blamed for the death of Lollywood. I think the gandasa genre was a missed opportunity for Pakistani cinema. What better choice to utilize it than by paying homage to the cult classic Maula Jatt.”

Waar was appreciated for its stylistic elements but criticized for its script and that he wanted to take more time with the script of Maula Jatt.
On May 27, 2014, the cast was chosen, and the shooting began.
