KARACHI: Pakistani cricket star Shahid Afridi demanded on Wednesday that the producers of a film about a boy emulating his rise to stardom cut an “obscene” scene which he fears could damage his image.
Afridi, was furious at a scene in which the hero hugs and kisses a girl in a nightclub. The scene was shown in trailers for the film on various TV channels.
“I had given permission for the film with an aim to give kids some positive healthy entertainment, to divert their minds towards cricket and it should not have obscene things,” said Afridi, 33. “I want to tell the people that the film is not related to my life.” says Afridi
“A lot of kids and families would go to watch the movie because of me and if they see things like that they will feel bad, so I hope they remove those scenes and run the film,” he said.
