Official Logline (Rumored): "Revenge begets only blood. Years after defeating the Natt clan, Maula Jatt struggles to protect his land from a new enemy: the widow of a foreign king who seeks the fabled 'Koh-i-Noor of Punjab' buried beneath the ruins of the Natt fortress."
Five years after the death of Noori Natt, the Natt clan has regrouped under his vengeful cousin, Sikandar Natt (a new character played by a yet-unnamed heavy-hitter). They have struck a deal with corrupt police commissioners and feudal lords to wipe out the Jatt lineage entirely. Maula Jatt, now a reluctant village elder, tries to live in peace. But when a brutal midnight attack burns his home and kidnaps Mukkho, Maula is forced to resurrect his gandasa—not for pride, but for redemption. Meanwhile, a new anti-hero emerges from the Koh-i-Qaf mountains—a prisoner who knows the Natt family’s darkest secret.
