Piracy’s a crime: Bilal Lashari urges viewers to not share ‘The Legend of Maula Jatt’ scenes online

“Mayray pyaaray Pakistani bhaiyoon aur bhenoon. Bohat khush hoon keh aap sab ku film itni zyaada pasand arahi hay (My dear brothers and sisters, I am very glad that you are loving the film),” he tweeted. 

“Laykin cinema screen ki phone say videos bana kar post mat karain. This is a crime aur jinhoon nay nahee dekhi unki film kharaab mat karain (But please refrain from sharing videos of the film of the cinema screen from your phones. This is a crime and ones who haven’t watched the film, you are ruining their experience).” Lashari added. “Twaadi mehrbaani (thank you).”

Previously, Hikmat too shared a similar request. “Please DO NOT post any clips of the movie on social media or YouTube. You are not only ruining the movie experience for others but also hurting the film’s potential business,” she had shared on Twitter.
