The emerging film scene seems to have everyone talking, with filmmakers from three major cities of the country heavily investing and working towards the revival of the long lost Pakistani cinema.

“Main hun Shahid Afridi" is produced by Humayun Saeed and Shahzad Naseeb, written by Vasay Chaudhry and directed by Syed Ali Raza. Dawn.com met with Humayun Saeed to gain some insight on what Saeed calls 'Pakistan’s first sports film'.
