Afridi, who hails from Pakistan’s deeply conservative tribal
district of Khyber on the Afghan border, said that he had given the
permission for the film to be made, thinking it would provide kids with
positive, healthy entertainment and that it should not feature obscene
scenes, News24 reported.
The cricketing all-rounder said that he wants to tell people that the film is not related to his life.

So, he is hoping that the producers run the film only after removing those scenes.
