Sports biopics are not a new concept in other countries. However, former Pakistani fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar’s biopic will be the first in Pakistan, as the ace legend pacer announced the upcoming release of his biopic on social media.

Akhtar, on Sunday, tweeted a preview for the movie with the description, “Beginning of this beautiful journey. Announcing the launch of my story, my life, my biopic, “Rawalpindi Express — Running Against The Odds”.

“If you think you know a lot already, you’re mistaken. You’re in for a ride you’ve never taken before. An international project by Q Film Productions [and the] first foreign film about a Pakistani sportsman,” he said.

The short clip showed Akhtar’s figure sprinting with his back turned towards the camera in a hazy frame with train tracks in the centre. A train siren could be heard in the background, but no locomotive could be seen, as the camera focused on him and his number 14 jersey. The film’s release date was also mentioned in the teaser.

Bringing to fruition an idea that the filmmaker had back in 2016, Muhammad Faraz Qaiser described it as “a dream come true.”

The former Pakistan cricket team pacer took 178, 247, and 19 wickets in three different formats during 46 Tests, 163 ODIs, and 15 T20Is. Batters were afraid of him because of his speed, not because of his wicket totals. The fastest ever recorded cricket delivery is 161kmph from him (vs New Zealand, 2002).

During an interview on a radio show, Hania Aamir acknowledged that she uses her social media presence mostly for economic purposes, but she also mentioned that she uses her influence to try to break social taboos.

In order to shatter the taboo around mental health issues and spread a positive message to others in the community, the actor revealed that sharing her own story on social media was a great step toward preventing others from experiencing the same struggles she had.

In an open moment, she said, “I always say this; I’m scared of the fame that I have.” “Because I wonder what I should say to God when we meet. “What did you do with whatever I gave you?” he may ask me. Then I don’t know how to respond. I just made a lot of money by posting lovely photos. That was it.

She said, “It just doesn’t sit well with me.” “I do this in any way that I can make a difference or just make people laugh with the dumb things I post.” That’s it.

Regarding her career, Aamir lately received praise and fame throughout the world for her portrayal of Sharjeena in the largest serial of Pakistan, ‘Kabh

Aamir Khan, a prominent actor and director with over 35 years of service in Bollywood, revealed that he nearly withdrew from his work a few years ago, but his family persuaded him to reconsider this choice.

In a recent joint interview with his former spouse Kiran Rao, Khan stated, “I resolved to resign prior to Laal Singh Chadha.” I was undergoing a personal journey.

“As the Covid pandemic waned, I abruptly recognised that I have devoted the majority of my adult life, from the age of 18 to the present, entirely to cinema and films.” Consequently, I perceived that I had not sufficiently supported my connections with my children, siblings, and family. Regardless of whether it was Kiran or Reena during my marriage to them. He articulated that he believed he had not sufficiently supported these individuals. I experienced significant shame and was dissatisfied with my actions. Having completed numerous films over the past 35 years, I can now concentrate on my family.

The ‘Taare Zameen Par’ actor recalled the moment he informed his family of the news. He remembered, “I gathered my family and expressed my desire to abandon my film career to spend time with all of you.” My reaction was not due to any disappointment with the film.

“Junaid and Ira, his elder children from his first wife Reena Dutta, persuaded me to continue.” Junaid enquired, ‘Why must you oscillate between extremes?’ There exists an intermediary space in which one can reside. They elucidated that to me, and I returned. Khan disclosed that no one was aware of his resignation, ultimately stating, “No tangible outcome resulted from it.” It was merely my individual path.

Aamir Khan will next appear in the self-produced film ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, alongside Genelia Deshmukh and Darsheel Safary. The spiritual successor to ‘Taare Zameen Par’ (2007) is set for theatrical release on December 25.
