Legendary squash player of Pakistan, Jahangir Khan recently endorsed Humayun Saeed to portray him in a prospective biopic on the life of Pakistan’s beloved player.

Jahangir Khan was a guest on Shahzad Iqbal’s show Jashan-e-Cricket on Geo News. The host asked the sportsman  ‘who is your favourite actor?’ To which the legendary player replied: “I don’t watch many films but I liked a few actors of old Pakistani dramas like Abid Ali, Nasir sahab and Jamshed Ansari.” He also took Shehnaz Sheikh’s name as his favourite actress.

Later, he was asked that if a biopic is ever made on him, who would he think can act well in it? The host gave him four options: Fahad Mustafa, Fawad Khan, Humayun Saeed and Sheheryar Munarwar, and Khan chose Humayun Saeed.

 

 

“It is very important for inspiration and I think it is very important for our children. We have many sports legends, I think biopics should be made for their learning and motivation,” Jahangir Khan added.

Shahzad also asked that if he has any plans to write an autobiography, to which Khan said: “I haven’t thought about it as of yet, but I think I should.”
