Headlined by Fawad Khan, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Mahira Khan, and Humaima Malik, The Legend Of Maula Jatt (2022) has turned out to be the biggest blockbuster ever produced by the film industry of Pakistan.

A remake of the 1979 cult classic Maula Jatt, the multi-starrer film has not phenomenal business not only in Pakistani but in several other parts of the world. After setting the global box office on fire with its collection, the film is now set to release in India.


Yes, you read that right! Pakistani film The Legend Of Maula Jatt is gearing up to enter Indian theatres despite projects from a few political parties, including Maharashtra’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS).

Sources close to an Indian portal inform the publication that earlier scheduled to release in India on December 2, The Legend Of Maula Jatt has been pushed to December 30.

The Legend Of Maula Jatt will be released in India on December 30, 2022. It’ll be the last major release to hit Indian screens. It was released in Pakistan and elsewhere in the world on October 13, 2022, and it has crossed the Rs. 200 crore mark at the worldwide box office. It is the first film from Pakistan to achieve this feat. Hence, a lot of people in India, especially the fans of the lead cast, are looking forward to seeing the film, and it can have healthy box office numbers,” the sources said.

Sharing the joy of his film receiving love across the world, the filmmaker had earlier said in an interview, “I’m beyond overwhelmed by the love the film has received from audiences and critics alike the world over.

Instagram removes DM encryption from today: What users should do to stay safe

Highlights

  • Instagram switches off end-to-end encryption just before federal deepfake law enforcement begins.
  • Meta can now read private messages it previously could not access.
  • Privacy experts warn against storing downloaded chats in Google Drive or iCloud.
Instagram is removing a privacy feature from May 8 that previously stopped the company from accessing the content of users’ direct messages.
The change comes just days before a new US federal law requires platforms to scan and remove harmful content.
The change affects users who turned on Instagram's end-to-end encryption option for direct messages.
Most Instagram users never switched on this feature, according to digital privacy expert Harry Maugans. For the small number who did, the protection ends on May 8.

End-to-end encryption works like a sealed envelope. The platform can see who sent a message and who received it, but cannot open it to read what is inside.

When Instagram removes this feature, it effectively removes the privacy layer that kept messages hidden. As a result, Meta would be able to access the content of those messages.
