From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1981 marked a significant period in Pakistani cinema, as it faced a rapid decline due to islamization in the country, consequently resulting in destabilization of the film industry.[1] With growing censorship policies, Punjabi and Pashto action films dominated the field.[2] Sultan Rahi starred in films like Maula Jutt In London and Khan e Azam, becoming an iconic figure of the time.
