Emraan Hashmi's 'CaptainNawab' is put on hold

Emraan Hashmi was recently shooting for his film "Captain Nawab". The actor has actually turned producer for the first time with this film. But, currently, his film is running in trouble.

Emraan will be seen playing a double agent who represents India and Pakistan and lands in trouble when both countries find out about his betrayal and so the film is facing a roadblock from Indian military. As 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. And so, they have raised a few questions and unless a clearance is received, work on the film cannot resume.

However, confirming the news, director Tony D'Souza said to a leading daily, "Yes, we have sent the script to the Ministry of Defence. We are awaiting their clearance to proceed with the shoot. 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. 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."
