The next potential record that Jatt & Juliet 3 could break
While the film’s momentum has slowed down in recent days, it has slight potential to challenge the overall record for the highest-grossing Punjabi film, currently held by the Pakistani film The Legend of Maula Jatt. The movie starred Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan.
The Legend of Maula Jatt is a Hit 2022 Pakistani Punjabi-language action drama film directed and written by Bilal Lashari. This film is an adaptation and a soft reboot of the 1979 Lollywood film Maula Jatt. It grossed over 115+ crores worldwide in 2022. Suppose JJ3 manages to surpass the collections of The Legend of Maula Jatt. In that case, the film can potentially create a historic moment for Punjabi cinema and further reinforce Diljit Dosanjh‘s position as the leading star in the industry.
