Did Hamza Ali Abbasi consider playing Maula

The Legend of Maula Jatt is hands down the most anticipated film to come out of Pakistani cinema since the day it was announced. It boasts of a mega star cast consisting of mostly actors people have been dying to see even individually in a project and now fans will get to see Hamza Ali Abbasi and Humaima Malick back with a dark and edgy bang while their favourites Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan will be creating magic as Maula and Mukho this time. Hamza Ali Abbasi playing Noori Natt is definitely one to look forward to as the film is all set to release.

The film is directed by Waar famed Bilal Lashari who is also Hamza Ali Abbasi’s great friend. Hamza shared in a recent interview that Bilal narrated the story to him and he was all in to play the legendary Noori Natt earlier played and made immortal by Mustafa Qureshi.

Hamza was asked that did he not think of playing Maua as he is the hero and took up Noori. Maula is definitely the protagonist and the film is named after him so was he tempted to take up Maula than Noori. Hamza said that Noori’s character is not straight laced like Maula and had a lot of margin of performance. Thus Noori is definitely Hamza’s choice. Hamza compared the character Noori Natt to Joker from Batman and said that he has his own importance.
