New Delhi: Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar has conveyed his special wish related to superstar Salman Khan, who is basking in the glory of his Eid release ‘Sultan’.

Agreeing that biopics on sports stars is the current trend in Bollywood ("Bhaag Milkha, Bhaag" to "Mary Kom" to “Sultan” and “Azhar”), Shoaib asserted that its filmmakers to decide whether a film based on his life should be made or not.
“I know that is the trend these days, but I am no one to decide that. If people think that my life is interesting and inspiring, then they can make a movie out of it. If not, then let it be. It is for fans and filmmakers to decide,” Akhtar told IANS.
And should that happen, Akhtar has his preference. “I’d like to see Salman Khan playing my role in the biopic, if that happens.”
