Taking to social media, Akhtar announced this shocking decision. He wrote, “Very sadly, I would like to inform all of you that after careful consideration of months, I have decided to disassociate myself from the film “Rawalpindi Express” & its makers by terminating the agreement through my management & legal team. Definitely, it was a dream project, and I tried a lot to prevent and stay in the boat, but unfortunately, things were not going well.
Failure to resolve disagreements amicably & constant contractual violations finally resulted in us to cut ties with them. Therefore, I have left the project after complying all legal protocols of revoking the rights to the story of my life. Severe legal action will be taken if the makers continue to make biography film and use my name or life story events in any way. Regards, Shoaib Akhtar.”
