You must have seen many movies based on real life stories of sportsmen and sportswomen. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Mary Kom are some of them. Azhar is an upcoming biopic which will throw light on the life of most successful and most controversial Cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin who has also played as Captain of the Indian cricket team. The movie is filmed under Balaji and Sony Network production and is directed by Tony Dsouza. Music composed by Amaal Malik and Pritam.
Earlier, Mohammad Azharuddin was a little reluctant for this biopic. He agreed only after reading the script. Mohammad Azharuddin has clearly stated that it is not a biopic but it is only showing the highs and lows of his life. The movie ‘Azhar’ focuses mainly on Mohammad Azharuddin’s life as a cricketer. He was at the peak of his career when he was charged with match fixing in the year 2000. In this way, his career as cricketer ends on a very bad note.

In ‘Azhar,’ Emraan Hashmi is playing the lead role of Mohammad Azharuddin whereas Prachi Desai and Nargis Fakhri are cast opposite him as his wives Naureen and Sangeeta Bijlani respectively.
