Bilal Lashari, director of box office hit Waar, has quashed rumours about casting Noor and vandal Gullu Butt for his upcoming release Maula Jatt.
“The cast of Maula Jatt is being finalised. Rumours of Noor and Gullu Butt being casted are not true,” Lashari told the media
Lashari will be giving a new identity to gandasa films with a multi-million dollar remake of Maula Jatt.
“This will be my take on gandasa (a weapon made famous by Maula Jutt and its sequels), which are blamed for the death of Lollywood,” said Lashari.
“I think the gandasa genre was a missed opportunity for Pakistani cinema, and what better choice to utilise it then by paying homage to the cult classic Maula Jatt.”
Lashari has been waiting for the Waar hype to quiet down before disclosing his new venture since the rebooted version of Maula Jatt has been in the pre-production phase for the last seven months.
