The Legend of Maula Jatt, a Pakistani movie, is set for release in India on December 30 in the wake of distasteful and deranged comments by actor Hamza Ali Abbasi on India
The release of the Punjabi-language movie will begin in Delhi-NCR and Punjab before moving on to the rest of the nation.
The change in the schedule occurs while tensions between the two nations remain high. The movie is based on the 1979 cult favourite “Maula Jatt” from Pakistan. The lead character in the adaptation, “Maula Jatt,” played by actor Fawad Khan, battles Noori Natt, the greatest fighter in Punjab, who is his enemy.

It’s interesting that Hamza Ali Abbasi, an actor renowned for his support of terrorism and active promotion of the controversial “Two Nation theory,” plays the role of Noori Natt.
Supporter Of A Mastermind
Hafiz Saeed, the mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai assault, has Hamza Ali Abbasi’s unreserved loud backing. Abbasi was observed giving the terrorist a pass despite being fully aware that Saeed was the mastermind of the devastating terror assault that claimed 166 lives.
The actor yelled, “You ridiculous moron! ” in response to a tweet from Donald Trump. In a conversation with me, Hafiz Saeed expressed his public condemnation of the Mumbai attacks.
Hamza Ali Abbasi offered his support to the terrorist and cleared him of all charges when Hafiz Saeed was apprehended by Pakistani law enforcement in July 2019. He also praised the fanatics who came forward to defend the 26/11 planner.
Despite being condemned by the UN a decade ago, the Pakistani actor asserted in a 2019 tweet, “Hafiz Saeed is not an enemy of the state! He speaks for & rallies the young for Kashmir!”
A Twitter user was even challenged by the actor portraying Noori Natt in “The Legend of Maula Jatt” to provide him with an instance in which Hafiz Saeed is promoting terrorism or bigotry.
A video of Hafiz Saeed inciting hatred towards the Ahmadi sect of Pakistan was once shown to Hamza Ali Abbasi. The actor had stated at the time that he understood the public attitude toward the Ahmadi or “Qadiyani” problem.
It’s a tremendously complex problem, unlike those affecting other religious minorities. If we’re ever going to get along, it needs to be handled individually, he had attempted to tell the 26/11 mastermind.
In one case, the Pakistani actor continued by asserting that Hafiz Saeed had done wonderful work for Pakistan’s non-Muslims and that he had no animosity toward India or Indians. He just despises and protests the horrors committed in Kashmir by the Indian government, according to Abbasi.
Abbasi also attempted to portray Hafiz Saeed as a person who is “secular-minded,” citing a piece from the Indian Express.ย
Actor From Pakistan On Hindus And Kashmir
The indoctrinated Pakistani actor has long supported the problematic “Two Nation Theory,” which maintains that “Hindus” and “Muslims” are more than simply two religious communities; they are countries in and of themselves (and cannot coexist).
He posted his hatred on Twitter under the guise of criticising the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). He had stated, “Jinnah Sahab maintained that Muslims of the sub-continent are at risk of being persecuted by the Hindu majority, which is how we obtained Pakistan on August 14, 1947.”
In addition to promoting the racist “Two Nation Theory” and supporting terrorist Hafiz Saeed on social media, Hamza Ali Abbasi occasionally lets out his inner “Maulvi (cleric)”.
In order to get closer to Allah, he even “left” show business and proclaimed items music to be “Haram.” He later reneged on his statements and promised to produce Islamic films.
After the internet community pointed out his double talk, he continued by reinterpreting Islamic prohibitions on music and acting and asserting that they are not “completely Haram.” The previous year he claimed that he was in back in Haram referring to the film industry. Yet again he is back with the movie.ย
Indians now have a clear option as to whether or not they want to financially support a film whose leading man is a fervent admirer of the terrorist Hafiz Saeed and an advocate of the “Two Nation Theory.”
A hate monger like #HafizSaeed advocating violence towards our fellow countrymen Pakistanis should be put away for good. Ppl like him have cost #Pakistan heavily over the years in reputation and reliability. I hope he never sees the light of day #IsupportHafizSaeed (NOT) #india pic.twitter.com/iqwOI8LjmF

On 14th August 1947, we got Pakistan bcz Jinnah sahab argued tht Muslims of SubContinent are in danger of being oppressed by the Hindu majority… and once more history proved him right bcz of Citizenship Amndmnt Act by Modi/RSS/BJP Hindutva raj, I thank Allah for PAKISTAN. ๐ต๐ฐโค๏ธ
