And according to sources the actor will be meeting Azharuddin later in this week to prepare for his role. The movie will be directed by Tony D’Souza, who has known Azharuddin since many years. Talking about it D’souza said, “I’ve known Azhar over the years. He has gone through amazing ups and downs. My interest in cricket ended when Azhar bhai stopped playing. The cut-off point for my passion for cricket was 2004. Prior to that I was as passionate about cricket as I am about cinema.” Talking about Emraan, he said, “He will surprise the audiences. Emraan has never been seen playing a real-life character, and that too a cricketer.” The director, who will take Emraan to meet Azharuddin said, “I will use my own comfort level with Azhar bhai to make Emraan comfortable when he plays the character.” Now you can enjoy ad-free experience by downloading India’s first Box Office mobile app from here – Android:http://bit.ly/BOCapsuleMobileApp and iOS: bit.ly/BOCapsuleiOSApp |
