Nimrat Kaur is flying high these days post last year’s ‘The Lunchbox’ which has enjoyed international success. BizAsia has learnt that the actress will now be seen in the biopic of Mohammad Azharuddin.

The film, titled ‘Azhar’, is produced by Ekta Kapoor and it is thought talks with the actress had been ongoing. “While the rest of the characters in the film are inspired by real-life people, this is a completely fictitious character. It’s not a lengthy part but comes at a crucial juncture and the makers were looking for a strong actor to play the role.��Nimrat’s acceptance was important as the film goes on the floors on May 1”, said a source, according to Mumbai Mirror.

Emraan Hashmi will be playing protagonist and Prachi Desai is going to be seen as Azharuddin’s first wife. An actress is yet to be finalised to play Sangeeta Bijlani.
