“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.”
