Maula Jatt (Punjabi: مَولا جٹ), is a 1979 Pakistani Punjabi-language action, musical film directed by Yunus Malik and produced by Sarwar Bhatti.[1] The film is an unofficial sequel to the 1975 Wehshi Jatt, starring Sultan Rahi as Maula Jatt and Mustafa Qureshi as his arch-rival Noori Natt.[2]
This film belongs to a genre which represents the rural culture of Pakistani central Punjab. Its success set the trend of action films being popular in Pakistan and cemented Sultan Rahi as Lollywood's main hero. The film was inspired by Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi's short story "Gandasa" which described the culture of Gujranwala's rural areas.[2] It received positive reviews from critics. An unofficial sequel titled Maula Jatt in London, also directed by Malik, was released in 1981.[3]
