The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Tuesday clarified that there is no stay order against the release of Bilal Lashari’s much-anticipated The Legend of Maula Jatt (TLMJ). The film has been in hot waters following claims of copyright infringement by producer of film Maula Jatt which came out in 1979.

Addressing the rumours surrounding the delay in TLMJ’s release, Ammara stated that it has been postponed due to a strategic reason:
The film has been delayed for a strategic reason, not any legal issue. The new release date will be announced very soon.
Till then, please don’t pay heed to any negative propaganda #TheLegendOfMaulaJatt— Ammara Hikmat (@AmmaraHikmat) April 30, 2019
Amidst all this legal battle, there is also a good news which Ammara shared in response to a fan query. We might not be able to see the full movie yet but the film’s trailer will be out soon:
