“And the government was profiting by putting 100% or 200% tax on a single film.”īhatti explains the issue was the lack of profit for him film-makers were not fully earning a return on their projects. “During that time, cinemas were still being made and cinema owners were taking the films’ earnings,” says Bhatti, with disappointment in his voice. He boasts about having a Mercedes when he entered the film industry, and feels the only reason his career in Lollywood was short-lived was due to the structure within the industry that never improved. “I had the complete capital to make a film and easily ensured that it was of quality,” says Bhatti. He feels that the film represented the true culture of Pakistan.īhatti’s direct involvement as a producer did not last long, but it was not due to any financial issues, he assures The Express Tribune. “You have to realise, it rid Pakistani cinema of Indian or Hollywood influences which had corrupted the films,” Bhatti adds about Maula Jatt, the sensation of the ‘80s. “It was an unjust claim that Maula Jatt had promoted violence,” says the conservative and proud producer. He says that his films have promoted “Islamic culture” and given Lollywood a new look. In a career that barely lasted 10 years, Bhatti has only produced five films. “During a time of vulgarity, we changed the parameters of Lollywood for good by making films like Maula Jatt,” says Bhatti, who aside from having other businesses runs a beat-up distribution office in Lahore’s film district Royal Park.
Released in 1979, clouded with the confusion of General Ziaul Haq’s reforms and shifts in Lollywood, the film reached cult status and the Pakistani film industry changed forever.
