KARACHI:  film about a boy emulating the

fairytale career of cricket star Shahid Afridi hit cinemas

Friday despite objections from the player over "obscene"

 scenes he fears could damage his pic s 

The $1 million Pakistan-made movie "Main Houn Shahid Afridi"

 ("I am Shahid Afridi") tells the story of a young man who

 dreams of becoming as great a player as Afridi, and the 

trials he faces as he tries to follow in his hero's footsteps.

The big-hitting all-rounder had given his blessing to the 

producers, but last week reacted angrily to an "obscene" scene 

shown in trailers for the film in which the hero hugs

 and kisses a girl in a nightclub.

He also raised objections to an "item song", a musical performance

 featuring Pakistani actress Mathira Khan. Dance numbers such 

as this with scantily clad women are often used in Indian cinema

and have little to do with the story.

"I had given permission for the film with an aim to give kids

 some positive healthy entertainment, to divert their minds to

wards cricket and it should not have obscene things," said Afridi, 33.

But the filmmakers went ahead with the release without 

removing the scenes.

"The item song was the demand and if Afridi had any objections

, it's his mindset," Mathira told reporters at a private premier 

of the film Wednesday night.

Cinema-goers had mixed reaction to the movie.

"I don't see any obscenity in the film," said 27-year-old

 shopkeeper Liaqat Khan. "If we can watch Indian movies

 in our cinemas which are full of objectionable scenes, why

 can't we watch this film."

But middle-aged housewife Samina Ali said she was

 embarrassed after waching the movie.

"I came here on the insistence of my kids who are die-hard 

fans of Afridi, but this film cannot be watched with kids," she said.

Afridi, who hails from Pakistan's deeply conservative tribal

 district of Khyber on the Afghan border, has so far played

 27 Tests, 354 one-days and 59 Twenty20 matches for Pakistan.

He became an instant hero when he hit a 37-ball century

 in only his second one-day against Sri Lanka in 1996 -- stil

l a world record.

Afridi also holds the record for hitting the most sixes in one-day

 international cricket, with 308 in 354 matches.

Pakistan's film industry has been on the skids for years, unable

 to compete with India's Bollywood.

But filmmakers are hoping the phenomenal popularity of one of

 the country's best-loved cricketers will translate into takings at

 the box office. (AFP)
