Pakistani Movie Main Hoon Shahid Afridi Comments Review

Shahid Afridi's Candid Comments on a Film Titled After Him

In a recent appearance on Waasay Chaudhry's live audience talk show, "Gup Shap," renowned cricketer and former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi shared his thoughts on various topics, including a Pakistani film titled "Shahid Afridi Hoon."

During the 34-minute episode, the cricketer discussed a fictional film based on him, not a biopic as one might assume. The discussion arose when Afridi admitted his fondness for Punjabi dramas, crediting his teammate Abdul Razzaq for introducing him to the genre. The host then asked him about the types of films he enjoys and casually confessed to writing the screenplay for "Shahid Afridi Hoon."

"Oh, you wrote that film? It should have been titled 'Main Hoon Humayun Saeed'," Afridi joked in response to Waasay's confession, eliciting laughter from the audience.

"Humayun came to me and said, 'Lala, we're making this film,' and I gave him permission to use my name. You must have seen the film 'Mujhe Khuda Pe Yaqin Hai.' Through that film, people were given many wonderful messages, so I told him, 'If this film is like that, then why not? I'll even appear in the film myself.' But the condition was that people should get good messages from the film," Afridi further explained, elaborating on his thought process behind letting Humayun use his name for the film's title, which was bound to attract a large audience.

"When I finally watched the film, I told Humayun, 'You gave the film the wrong title.' He asked me why, and I said, 'The film should have been called 'Main Hoon Humayun Saeed' because you're in the film everywhere. I didn't see any good message in the film," Afridi joked.

In the same segment of the show, Afridi revealed his desire for a biopic based on his life, chronicling his remarkable journey to becoming a cricket sensation: "I wish a film could be made on my life. The experiences I've been through."
