[1]Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan's transition from a cricketer to an active politician has become the subject of a movie, which is set to be released this year.
According to a report in the ‘Express Tribune’, the film called ‘Kaptaan’ explores the life of Imran following the end of his cricket career.
Imran, after leading Pakistan to many triumphs on the cricket field including the 1992 World Cup, became a frontline politician and social activist.
The movie, which is still in post-production phase, explores the experiences of his life.
Faisal Aman Khan, an independent filmmaker who is based in the UK, is directing the film.
Faisal said he hit upon the idea of making this movie two years ago after he graduated from film school. According to his colleagues, Faisal met Imran several times during the research phase of the project to get his endorsement.
"Imran Khan was reluctant at first and claimed that it was more important to focus on other aspects of the country, Faisal's persistence finally paid in ultimately convincing him," said Naveed Anwar, the film's assistant director and screenwriter.
