Having clinched the title of the highest-grossing Pakistani film, 'The Legend of Maula Jatt,' directed by Bilal Lashari, now adds another prestigious achievement to its repertoire with a nomination in the highly coveted Best Fight category. This nomination recognizes the unforgettable, heart-pounding final showdown between Maula and Noori, portrayed by the exceptionally talented Fawad Khan and Hamza Ali Abbasi, respectively.
The film's adrenaline-pumping stunts, meticulously choreographed by the renowned stunt coordinator Ian Van Temperley, pit it against formidable contenders such as "Everything Everywhere All at Once" and "The Gray Man," among others.
The Taurus World Stunt Awards annually celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of stunt performers from the global film industry. Since its inception in 2001, these awards have consistently set the highest standards for recognition in the field.
