The film is set to have a wider release later this year, Amir also informed.

Shot over a course of two years, the short film is a joint project of Australian film-makers Blair Macdonald and Oliver Clark of Novemba Films. The team has been working with Khan for over four years.

The film will be based on the British-Pakistani sportsman's career and his team’s everyday routine.
