The Legend of Maula Jatt has been in the making a long time now and boasts of the most stellar cast seen on the Pakistani big screen till date. Apart from Fawad, it also features Mahira Khan, Humaima Malick and Hamza Ali Abbasi. The Bilal Lashari directorial is a stylized update to the 1979 action film Maula Jatt, which traces the journey of a local hero who takes on a brutal gang leader.

The trailer of the film primarily revolves around Fawads character, giving glimpses of how he became the hero of his village. The actor known for his typical boy-next-door image has put on a lot of weight and is donning an intense look, complete with long tresses and a chiseled body.
We also see flashes of Hamza Ali who plays the main antagonist. Hints of Fawads chemistry with Humaima and Mahira are also the high points of the trailer, though fans are more thrilled to have Fawad back with his Humsafar co-star Mahira in this film.
