Said Afridi<br /><br />Afridi, who shot to stardom in 1996 aged 16 when he hit a world record one-day international hundred off 37 balls, said he wanted the producer to cut the scene.<br /><br />The movie had already suffered technical glitches which stopped it being released over the Eid holiday weekend.<br /><br />Afridi said he was also concerned because the film's promotional material wrongly suggested he had acted in the film.<br /><br />"I had declined the offer to act because my elders are against acting, nor did I charge a single penny from them," he said.<br /><br />The movie was expected to lift the sagging Pakistani film industry, which struggles to compete with Bollywood in neighbouring India.<br /><br />More News- www.youtube.com/desicinemaa.com<br /> www.facebook.com/desicinemaa<br /> www.desicinemaa.com
