Emraan Hashmi playing former Indian cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin for the film 'Azhar' was buzzing with several names from Bollywood for the role of his better half on screen.

Finally it is confirmed that Nargis Fakhri will play Sangeeta Bijlani in the film.

A source says, "We have locked Nargis to play Sangeeta Bijlani in the film. She fit the bill in terms of looks, style and glamour. We did the look test with her. She is a talented actress and we are glad to have her on board."

In order to get into the character Nargis will attend some workshops and will watch former diva's movies for learning the mannerism.  

"There will be another heroine that too will be an established one. We are yet to decide who we should cast," apart from Nargis adds the source.

The film is likely to go on floors next month.
