Pakistani cricket star Shahid Afridi demanded that the producers of a film main hoon afridi cut an "obscene" scene which he fears could damage his image.
The all-rounder had given his blessing to "Main Hoon Afridi" but is now worried it may lead young viewers astray.
The Pakistan-made movie tells the story of a young man who dreams of becoming as great player as Afridi, and the trials he faces as he tries to follow in his hero's footsteps.
Afridi, who hails from Pakistan's deeply conservative tribal district of Khyber on the Afghan border, was furious at a scene in which the hero hugs and kisses a girl in a nightclub.
The scene was shown in trailers for the film on various TV channels.
"I want to tell the people that the film is not related to my life." Said Afridi
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.
The movie had already suffered technical glitches which stopped it being released over the Eid holiday weekend.
Afridi said he was also concerned because the film's promotional material wrongly suggested he had acted in the film.
"I had declined the offer to act because my elders are against acting, nor did I charge a single penny from them," he said.
The movie was expected to lift the sagging Pakistani film industry, which struggles to compete with Bollywood in neighbouring India.
