Grapevine is abuzz about a biopic on Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician to roll out soon. A source said, “Indian producer Rakesh Upadhyay is planning the project with director Ritesh Sinha. Islamabad-based entrepreneur Babar Shaikh facilitated their meeting with Khan, who did not raise any objection to the biopic. At the moment, everything is in the planning stage only.” Confirming the story, Upadhyay said, “Yes, we met him recently to discuss the project and secured his permission to go ahead with it. We want to make the film as per international standards since Imran Khan is a global icon and has a huge fan following across the world. Ritesh will direct and co-produce the film.”
