Actor Emraan Hashmi adds another feather to his cap. He is all set to become a producer soon, joining the likes of his Bollywood peers like Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and others. 

According to reports his first production will be called Captain Nawab and it will feature him and he essay a soldier. For the first time he will be stepping into the shoes of an army man in a movie, even though he has played a cop in a few movies like Ungli and Zeher.

He also unveiled the first look of the film to popular daily Mirror, which is actually the first look of the character. Interestingly, his uniform is a hybrid of both Indian and Pakistani uniforms. So does that imply his role is similar to that of Salman Khan in Bajrangi Bhaijaan who crosses the border? Speaking to Mirror, the actor shared, “That’s the DNA of the film. I know it’ll spark off assumptions but I’ll hold the suspense for now”. The film will be directed by Tony D’Souza, who earlier made Azhar with Emraan Hashmi. The scripting is still in process, though Emraan hints that the film is inspired by true events.

The actor will start training for the film to nail the soldier role right. He will start with it once he finishes the shoot for Milan Luthria’s Baadshaho which has just gone on the floors. Ajay Devgn will be his co-star in the film.
