A cricket tournament coming to Sialkot could prove to be the club’s last hope. With no place else to go, he discovers one last chance to save his club, his town and his dream. The movie is a story of an ambitious youth (Noman Habib), who dreams to become Shahid Afridi, finds himself down on luck when the only cricket club he ever knew goes bankrupt. The fervor of cricket (one of the few things that binds the Pakistani nation) was duly supported with the burning desire to produce a successful movie with its own identity. The premiere drew loud cheers and standing applause from all participants. The hard work by actors, director, and the entire team, is clearly reflected from start to finish. Humayun Saeed, Pakistan’s most-versatile model, actor, director, producer, his esoteric partner Shahzad Nasib of “Six Sigma” (production house set-up in 2010 by Raju Jamil social media expert, senior banker, and son of Pakistan’s top poet Jamiluddin Aali), film director Ali Reza, renowned film distributor Nadeem Mandviwalla, Haji Abdul Rauf of ARY TV Network, and top celebrities were present to add luster to the premiere’s glory. The arena looked like a fashion show with hundreds of DSLR cameras keen to capture the reaction of the socialites on the revival of the Pakistani cinema.
The red carpet event was packed with VIPs from Pakistan, India, UAE, UK, France, and the US. I was fortunate to witness the grandiose premiere of “Mein Hoon Shahid Afridi” at The Atrium, Karachi. The movie has been officially released on August 13 all over Pakistan. “Main Hoon Shahid Afridi” has got all that it takes to put the Pakistan Film Industry back on track. After the great Pakistani movie “Jeeva,” Pakistan had little to brag.
