Production
In January 2020, 3rd World Studios announced on YouTube about the production of the second installment of its animated film Allahyar and the Legend of Markhor.[9] The film was directed by Uzair Zaheer Khan, a Pakistani film director and screenwriter who also directed the 2018 film Allahyar and the Legend of Markhor.[10]
The first teaser of the film was released on 23 March 2021 with distribution by Mandviwalla Entertainment.[11]

Reception
Mohammad Kamran Jawaid , in his review for Dawn/Images, stated, "For the laymen who don’t want to get into the technical nitty gritties and just want to know whether the sequel to Allahyar is worth the price of admission — well, I’ve got good news for you, it’s right up there with the best of them."[14] while a review in Dawn wrote, "If wildlife preservation was the idea behind the first film of Allahyar, then the alarming global crisis and shortage of trees are behind the sequel. Allahyar truly rises to the occasion as Muhafiz and saves again with his heroics."[15]
Reporting a special screening, The Nation found "the film lives up to its promise of quality acting along with action, drama and comedy, and what’s more, social messages that were greatly appreciated by the audience."[16]
