It was released on 8 April 2016 in cinemas across Pakistan under the production banner of Media Hub.[2][3] The film was banned in Pakistan for political reasons after being cleared by all three Censor Boards of the country with Universal (Unrestricted) rating. Opposition parties in Pakistan welcomed the film for showing reality and the KPK govt allowed screening of 'Maalik'.
