Former Pakistani pacer Shoaib Akhtar has announced that he has disassociated himself from his biopic ‘Rawalpindi Express – Running against the odds’
Last year in July, Akhtar unveiled the motion poster of the movie that was scheduled to be released on 13 November 2023. However, in his latest social media post, he informed that he has “cut ties” with the filmmakers and warned the makers of “severe legal action” if they continue to make his biography film and use his name or life story events in any way.

“Very sadly, I would like to inform all of you that after careful consideration of months, I have decided to disassociate myself from the film “Rawalpindi Express” and its makers by terminating the agreement through my management and legal team, said Akhtar in a tweet.
“Definitely, it was a dream project, and I tried a lot to prevent and stay in the boat, but unfortunately, things were not going well. Failure to resolve disagreements amicably and constant contractual violations finally resulted in us cutting ties with them. Therefore, I have left the project after complying with all legal protocols of revoking the rights to the story of my life. Severe action will be taken if the makers continue to make biography films and use my name or life story events in any way,” he added.
