On the other hand, the former Indian cricket captain Azharuddin, who is reportedly a regular visitor to the dargah said that he did not come specially for Azhar, but had come as Emraan asked him to join. He also added that, while he made no special wish for the film, he, like always, prayed for the happiness of his family and friends.
Besides Emraan Hashmi, Azhar also stars Prachi Desai, Nargis Fakhri and Lara Dutta in prominent roles. The film, directed by Tony D'Souza, is slated to release on May 13.
Emraan Hashmi, who has really worked up his way in order to get the posture and the nuances of his character right in the film (that's based on the ace cricketer Azharuddin), is really hoping that the film should be a hit at the box-office.
This week will see the release of the eagerly awaited film Azhar that stars Emraan Hashmi in the leading role. Following the 'religious' custom that is being practiced by film stars to seek divine intervention for the success of their films, Emraan Hashmi and Mohammad Azharuddin went to the holy shrine of 'Nizamuddin Dargah' in Delhi.
