Is Sangeeta Bijlani planning to sue 'Azhar' makers?

The makers of forthcoming biopic Azhar introduced Nargis Fakhri's character with the song Oye Oye (Nargis is playing Sangeeta Bijlani, who was Mohammad Azharuddin's second wife) and it seems that Sangeeta is already gearing up for a legal fight.

Sources inform that Sangeeta was not consulted about Azhar or the role that Nargis is playing in the movie and that she is planning to sue the makers if the movie shows her in a poor light. But, some reveal that when Sangeeta was approached by the makers of the film for her help, she did not show any interest and remained aloof about the project.

Azhar, which is based on the life of former Indian cricket captain Mohammad Azharuddin, stars Emraan Hashmi in the lead role.

Emraan Hashmi behaves just like stalker in real for 'Azhar'!

Stars generally have to deal with fans, who turn into stalkers, but this might be the first time in the history of Bollywood that an actor became a stalker for the sake of a movie.

At the trailer launch of Azhar, which is based on the life and struggles of former Indian cricket captain Mohammad Azharuddin,Emraan Hashmi, who plays the lead role, told, “Eventually I almost became a stalker, I used to stare at him to copy all his gestures. I think I made his life hell for three-four months.” Hashmi told that as Azhar is a well-known personality, he had to take extra care to see to it that he faithfully captures his mannerism and his body language.

Directed by Tony D'Souza, Azhar also stars Prachi Desai, Nargis Fakhri and Lara Dutta.

Emraan Hashmi, who has typically played an anti-hero in most of his movies, will be next seen playing the lead role in Azhar, which is based on the life of former Indian cricket captain Mohammad Azharuddin and the actor lately disclosed his reasons behind giving his nod to the project.

Emraan told that Azhar is the only movie so far, which was capable of challenging him as an actor and pushing him out of his comfort zone, which is why he was thrilled about being a part of this movie. Hashmi further added that this is the first project, on which he focused for more than a year.

Produced by Ekta Kapoor, Shobha Kapoor, N. P. Singh and Sneha Rajani under Balaji Motion Pictures and Sony Pictures Networks, the film is slated to release on May 13, 2016.
