Bhatti, the chairman of Bahoo Films, the production house which produced the Maula Jattfilms, had earlier stated that Bilal Lashari was not covered on the legal front, stating, "I met Lashari and have told him that he is not making the film legally. I informed him that whoever has invested in your project will suffer because you have not bought the rights to Maula Jattfrom me."

Earlier, speaking to The Express Tribune, Lashari responded to these accusations of copyright infringement saying that he is legally covered for the film as Nasir Adeeb, the writer of theMaula Jatt films, has the right to the films and he is part of their team.

When called for confirmation Bhatti remarked, "An employee will never have the ownership of his boss' property. The rights to Maula Jatt are on my name and even the censor certificate is addressed to me. Nasir Adeeb worked as a script-writer for me and he was paid for that; he cannot claim ownership of the Maula Jatt franchise."
