Insiders suggest that the Pakistani film inspired by the life and works of cricketer Shahid Afridi (titled Main Hun Shahid Afridi) is all but complete. Its promotional work is about to begin and it will not take long for the viewers to see its trailers on TV channels. The project is produced by actor Humayun Saeed and has so far been kept under the hat, in the sense that not much is written or spoken about it. This has raised the curiosity levels of cine-goers. News is that Shahid A will also make an appearance in the film.

So fingers crossed. Let’s see if the project spins prodigiously and amazes the audiences or proves to be a floater that goes straight on, hits the bat, and does nothing.
