Trailer out: Fans can’t stop comparing ‘Maula Jatt’ to ‘GoT’, ‘Gladiator’

The first look of Fawad Khan, Hamza Ali Abbasi and Mahira Khan starrer much anticipated ‘The Legend of Maula Jatt 2’ dropped last night and it has brought the wow element on-screen.

The first official trailer of the film gives the glimpse at the stellar cast Fawad, Mahira, Humaima Malick and Hamza Ali Abbasi, Ali Azmat, Gohar Rasheed, Shafqat Cheema among others. The trailer has been trending on social media since last night and is receiving a massive response from the audience.

The 2-minute 23-second clip, which has no dialogue except for the one chilling holler ‘Maula!’, has a narration by Kamran Lashari introducing us to the legend of Maula Jatt and to the main characters of this epic saga.

Hamza is playing the role of Noori Natt, Maula’s (Fawad) arch nemesis and as the narrator explains, he and Maula will indulge in the biggest rivalry ever seen in Pakistani cinema. Mahira will play Fawad’s love interest in the movie.

The reaction is massive, with many of the Pakistani industry people as well as Bollywood ace director Karan Johar has praised the first look of Fawad Khan as ‘Maula Jatt’.

“This looks epic and on way to set new standards for the industry and records for the box office.” https://t.co/aPN8ZVRKPT

While fans are going crazy about how the trailer has raised the standard of Pakistani cinema, many are comparing it 'Game of Thrones' and 'Gladiator', due to the look of the main characters.

VERSATALITY IS THE WORD...
Over the years he proved that he's not just a handsome hunk but PURE TALENT.
From broken hearted Hassan to a greedy and selfish Asghar,from a rich narcissistic and chauvinist Zaroon to MAULA JATT he proved his talent is outta this world✌️ pic.twitter.com/cLoVuW3kuZ

What is up with the new Maula Jatt trailer? — its like Gladiator meeting Khal Drogo on steroids. I sure missed out on this Punjab.

Very Gladiator-ish, very GoT, I can't wait to see our Maula Jatt.
Both Fawad Khan and Hamza Ali Abbasi have a great screen presense, and both look terrific in their Jatt & Natt get-ups. Mahira Khan & Humaima rock, & the rest of the cast is also very good. https://t.co/h170aS15Ov
