Humaima Malick returned to big screens with epic blockbuster The Legend of Maula Jatt this year and her entry was so loud and promising that despite playing villain, fans hailed her as ‘heroine’ of film. Even Mahira Khan admitted she was main act. She said Feroze once gifted her a handwritten letter by Bollywood’s Amitabh Bachchan on her birthday.

“On my birthday, my brother gifted me a handwritten letter by Amitabh Bachchan with his picture and signature. It’s framed in my office and it is sweetest thing. He had addressed me as ‘Humaima sahiba’ and called me fortunate.”

Drawing comparisons from her film, she said, “Way Daro loved Noori and Noori loved Daro, I love Feroze and he loves me same way as well. We love each other immensely.” Humaima who essays role of Daro Nattni in Bilal Lashari’s reboot of 1979 cult classic Maula Jatt told Indian journalist Faridoon Shaharyar in an Instagram Live session that she was asked to follow two instructions by her director: “Do not watch old Maula Jatt and take reference from Eva Green’s character in 300: Rise of an Empire.”
