Emraan Hashmi, in 'Azhar' has played former Indian skipper, Mohammad Azharuddin. He was one of the most successful but most controversial captains to lead the Indian side.

Prachi Desai plays Azhar's first wife, who felt betrayed on being passed over for his second wife, Sangeeta Bijlani, that has been played by Nargis Fakhri.The latter will probably reprise the real-life actress' popular number, 'Oye oye,' as hinted in the trailer. The story is the tale of Azharuddin's rise to glory and the downfall that followed.
