Azhar

Azhar (2016) is an upcoming Indian biographical sports film directed by Tony D'Souza. It is based on the life of former Indian international cricketer, Mohammad Azharuddin. Mazharuddin was accused of match-fixing but has a clean chit from A Division Bench of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, which in November 2012 set aside a previous lifetime ban. The lower court's order justified the life ban imposed on the former Indian Cricket captain, Mohammed Azharuddin, by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) match-fixing scandal in 2000. The film is being produced by Ekta Kapoor,[1] Shobha Kapoor and Sneha Rajani under their banners Balaji Motion Pictures and MSM Motion Pictures. It is scheduled for release on 13 May 2016 and will star Emraan Hashmi playing Azharuddin alongside Prachi Desai, Nargis Fakhri, and Huma Qureshi. The role of Naureen was first offered toPakistani actress Urwa Hocane by Ekta Kapoor, but she refused, stating she didn't want to do bold scenes.
