Watch out Vijaykanth, 'Kaptaan' is coming!

June 30, 2011 11:57

Former cricketer Imran Khan's political career and his complex relationship with his ex-wife Jemima are the focus of Kaptaan, an independent Pakistani film that is expected to be released later this year.

Faisal Aman Khan, a Britain-based independent filmmaker who is directing the film, met the cricketer-turned-politician several times while researching the project to get him to endorse the movie.

"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 (off) in ultimately convincing him," Naveed Anwar, the film's assistant director and screenwriter, told the Express Tribune newspaper.

The film, currently in post-production, will be ready for distribution this fall but its producers are tight-lipped about the scheduled release date, the report said.
