Kaptaan follows the legendary life of one of Pakistan’s most famous figures, Imran Khan. The movie follows the life of the man who won Pakistan their first cricket World Cup in 1992 and who wanted to build the first cancer hospital after the tragic death of his mother.

The biographical film explores his life’s journey as he comes to terms with fame and fortune as a famous cricketer and later someone whose every move is scrutinized by the people who have placed their faith in him. Everything Imran Khan has done and achieved from winning the World Cup to the present day as a political leader is showcased.

The movie’s first trailer was released last year but concerns about how well it will be received on the big screen caused a halt in production and the release date is yet to be announced – although it is expected to come out later this year. With the second trailer out, the hype surrounding the movie is high.
