Web Desk — Nasir Adeeb, seasoned and known Pakistani scriptwriter for writing Punjabi films for Lollywood, reveals the fee he charged for writing the script of The Legend of Maula Jatt.
Adeeb has penned multiple novels but in 1979 his fame skyrocketed when he wrote Maula Jatt. He says Maula Jatt was written against the system and that was the reason that it became a cult classic.
Recently Adeeb appeared in The Super Over with Ahmed Ali Butt and during the programme he revealed the amount he had demanded from Sarwar Bhatti for Maula Jutt. According to Adeeb, he was just paid “approximately 7 thousand rupees (in 1979)” for the original blockbuster.
Butt then asked, “And how much did you demand from Bilal Lashari?” Nasir Adeeb said, “I demanded 10 lacs from Bilal Lashari but he gave me 15 lac rupees”.
