The world's most shy and retiring footballer - Zlatan Ibrahimovic - is now the subject of a forthcoming motion picture. 

I Am Zlatan charts the Swedish striker's rise as the son of Balkan immigrants, to one of the globe's most recognisable players.

It's due for release in Sweden on September 10, and is likely to follow worldwide shortly thereafter.

Young actor Dominic Andersson Bajraktati plays an 11-year old Ibrahmovic, while Granit Rushiti takes up the mantle of a 17-year old Zlatan.

There's even room for his agent Mino Raiola, who is played by Emmanuele Aita.
