Humayun Saeed and Shahzad Nasib are producing a movie based
on the life of Shahid Khan Afridi, who requires no introduction. Movies
based on sports have gained much popularity in the sub-continent after
the success of “Chak De! India”. Previously a UK-based filmmaker Faisal
Aman Khan, made a movie based on the life of cricketer turned politician
Imran Khan.
“Main Hun Shahid Afridi” is a movie which entails the struggles and achievements of a simple boy who made it big in cricket through sheer determination and hard work.
According to Saeed, producer of the movie, more than 50 per cent of the movie has been completed. The movie has been shot at popular stadiums in Karachi and Sialkot through support from Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
“Main Hun Shahid Afridi” is being directed by Osman Ali Raza and Saeed himself will star as a coach in the movie. Lead role is being played by a 19-year-old boy called Noman Habib, who himself is an aspiring cricketer. However, Afridi himself will not make any appearance in the movie.
