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.
Humayun Syeed has LOST HIS MIND. If he had made a movie on Imran Khan's new political career,I would be the first one to watch his movie. I don't understand what are Afridi's achivements in cricket apart from hitting fastest century. Cricketing world considers him an average cricketer and the fact is that he's an average cricketer who never had the temprament to play tough Test cricket. This movie is bound to be a flop.
Oh man; its we who spoil sports man and make them to think they are god and they can do what ever they want.
For people who said its him who change the game so answer is NO its Jayasuriya who started playing aggressive in 1st 10 overs and than every one follows him.
Please there are more heroes in our country than this guy……… I love to watch movie like Imran Khan, Miandad, Waseem Akram… there are more old ones but these guys are from my era..
No offence to any one just take it positive; we need players who can perform all the time not just to make them hero and they disrespect every one.
cheers
LALA you are the best of all
we are waiting 4 this movie
you are best expamle to simple sit on a chair and think that i am best cricketer in the world. people go to stadiums just to see shahid Afridi and why to misbha captain it was no planning for the team and he was old cricketer and pakistan loose managment in the slection comittee so please to make to shahid afridi captain in the world cup 2015.
Long live Afridi……he is a true Legend and the cricketing world says that 'In cricket world, there would never be another Shahid Khan Afridi. To say he was an all-rounder is to say Albert Einstein was a Scientist'. This tells how brilliant a cricketer he is…..HE IS THE STAR OF PAKISTAN……recently being awarded the top 100 professionals in Sporting World According to the UK based http://www.internationalbiographicalcentre.com/
Waiting for this movie anxiously.
he is the only internationl star crikter in pakistan inpakistani team in recent time.afridi is truly the king………………..
No doubt Shahid Afridi is one of the best cricketer of this generation. He has always a major role in every won match by Pakistan.
I think all of you forgoten the 12 , which he scored in australia on one ball, if you don't trust on it then go to youtube and check out his longest , highest, and handsum six which no body has made
those who say that Afridi is just an average cricketer know nothing of cricket.He is the pioneer of modern pinch-hitters.Be honest and learn to praise ur players as Indians do.From Bangladesh
Well everyone, guess what, by all your comments summarised Afridi is the poster child for T20 cricket, i mean think about it, he was told and its also obvious that he is not a test cricketer, he does not have the patience to bat out in a 50 over match, and viola, a new byproduct of T-20 cricket gets introduced in the world. now does anyone comment when players get out on playing rash shots in the newer format of the game? the answer is no
yes i also agree shahid afridi should have shown much better results in one dayers and he has been playing since 2006, but in actual fact he is one of the pioneers of have the ICC think about an ever shorter format and making cricket popular among non-cricketing nations.
very true ahmad…..well done!!!!!!
our film industry is not working properly may be by the name of shahid afridi this film can defeat little bit in this industry and it will good people should know how much struggle and strive to become successful it is not child play.
