Madhuurima, who starred in several Telugu films including NTR-starrer Temper, has joined as an assistant to director Tony D'Souza on this project.

Tony's wife and Madhuurima are good friends and that's how she landed an opportunity to work on this biopic," a source from the film's unit told.

Starring Emraan Hashmi, "Azhar" is said to bring forth the controversial yet famous story of one of the most successful Indian captains.

"For long, Madhuurima wanted to understand filmmaking from close quarters. So, she decided to work as an assistant director to get hands-on experience," the source adds.

The film also features Pracchi Desai, Nargis Fakhri, Huma Qureshi and Gautam Gulati in important roles.
