Umair Jaswal exits from the Shoaib Akhtar biopic Rawalpindi Express

Exit announcement

We were all excited when Umair Jaswal shared the news of starring as Shoaib Akhtar in the upcoming biopic Rawalpindi Express a while ago. Now, the singer has announced that he is no longer associated with the biopic citing “creative and personal reasons”. He while writing on Instagram announced, “I have decided to step away from the Shoaib Akhtar biopic project Rawalpindi Express. I will no longer be associated with any media or news related to this project.” He continued wishing everyone involved in the project “all the very best” with a photo of himself as Akhtar in his iconic number 14 jersey. His brother, singer Yasir Jaswal, commented, “More power to you my love. Upwards and onwards,” on his post. He also received a similar comment from his actor-wife Sana Javed. The biopic is being directed by Muhammad Faraz Qaiser, written by Qaiser Nawaz and produced under the banner of Q Films Productions. The makers are yet to announce the entire cast and the actor who will be replacing Jaswal. Rawalpindi Express was expected to release on November 16.
