Shoaib Akhtar distances himself from “Rawalpindi Express” biopic

• Shoaib Akhtar has distanced himself from his biopic, “Rawalpindi Express”.
• He also warned of legal action if they continue making the film.
• Umair Jaswal was slated to play him.

Shoaib Akhtar, a former Test cricketer, distanced himself from his biopic, “Rawalpindi Express.”

Akhtar announced on social media on Saturday that he had broken up his relationship with the producers of his biopic because they broke their agreement.

“Very sadly, I would like to inform all of you that after careful consideration of months, I have decided to disassociate myself from the film ‘Rawalpindi Express’ and its makers by terminating the agreement through my management and legal team,” he announced.

The legendary cricketer also warned makers of legal action if they continue making the film.

“Severe legal action will be taken if the makers continue to make biography film and use my name or life story events in any way,” he mentioned.

Umair Jaswal, a well-known musician and actor from Pakistan who was slated to play “Shoaib Akhtar” in the biopic, withdrew from the endeavour earlier this month.

“Due to creative and personal reasons, I have decided to step away from the Shoaib Akhtar biopic project RAWALPINDI EXPRESS. I will no longer be associated with any media or news related to this project. “Wishing everyone involved all the best,” he shared on Twitter on January 5, 2023.

The world’s fastest bowler was the subject of a movie that was rumoured to be released in November of this year.
