Emraan Hashmi's Captain Nawab: The shoot of actor's home production te

Emraan Hashmi has turned producer and his
first outing under his home banner is
Captain Nawab. In the film, Emraan will be
playing the role of an army officer. The actor
started shooting for the film last year but
currently, it has hit a roadblock, as per
reports in a leading daily.
Talking about it, a source stated to the daily,
"Emraan had booked his dates for the spy
thriller and even begun shooting for it. But
now, the shoot has been temporarily stalled.
That's why his other films have been
announced in quick succession."
Citing the reason, the source further said,
"Director Tony D'Souza and the entire team
is awaiting a clearance from the Indian
military to resume the shoot. In the movie,
Emraan plays a double agent who
represents India and Pakistan and lands in
trouble when both countries find out about
his betrayal. Given that he plays a man in
uniform and it highlights the sensitive Indo-
Pakistan relationship, the armed forces are
wary of how it will be shot. They have raised
a few questions and unless a clearance is
received, work on the film cannot resume."
When Tony was asked about it, he
confirmed the news saying, "Yes, we have
sent the script to the Ministry of Defence. We
are awaiting their clearance to proceed with
the shoot. He quickly clarifies, "Anyone who
makes a film on the army doesn't do it with
an intention to hurt anyone's sentiment. We
have a lot of respect for the Indian Armed
Forces."
He concluded by saying, "We had finished
our first schedule, but we will shoot
portions of the film featuring the Indian
Army now. So, we needed the Ministry to
give us a No Objection Certificate. It should
come either by the end of this month or in
the first week of March. Then, we would be
good to go."
