Production

On December 14, 2013 in an interview with The Express Tribune, Bilal Lashari announced that he will be directing Maula Jatt and said: "This will be my take on Gandasa films which are blamed for the death of Lollywood.

On May 27, the cast was chosen and the shooting of film was started revealing that film will be in three languages; English, Urdu and Punjabi. Rumours were made that film will feature Noor and Gullu Butt in lead roles. Lashari denied the rumours and said "The cast of Maula Jatt is being finalised. Rumours of Noor and Gullu Butt being casted are not true."[7] The film cast was revealed one by one; Hamza Ali Abbasi on July 16, Adnan Jaffar was revealed on August 1 and Sanam Jung later.
