Watch: Here's how Mohammad Azharuddin helped Emraan Hashmi prep up for the biopic

Mumbai: That Emraan Hashmi will be seen playing the role of legendary cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin in upcoming biopic 'Azhar', is a known fact.

The actor underwent rigorous training to get Azharuddin's signature moves right with none other than Azharuddin. The makers of 'Azhar' have released a short video which offers a sneak peek into Emraan's practice sessions with the former Indian player.

Emraan said, "I have looked up to him and followed pretty much every match he had played at that time." He went on to add, "He doesn't put too much pressure and make you feel bad that you don't know this. He lets you be and slowly you see those parts of your game come out. And you get better."

On the other hand, Azharuddin was all praises for the star. He said, "He is very patient and a very good learner. Not many people can learn fast. He wants to learn."
