"Self-control is the thing that I have learnt from Emraan while working with him. I do not know how he has so much patience. I picked up this one thing from him," Prachi said.
"No matter how many retakes he had to give or whatever questions you ask him, he never loses his patience," she added.
"Azhar" will narrate the highs and lows of Mohammad Azharuddin's life as the captain of the Indian cricket team for most of the 1990s and being tainted by a match-fixing scandal in 2000, and getting banned for life.
Emraan will be seen playing the titular role of former Indian captain Azharuddin in the film.
"Azhar" also stars Nargis Fakhri, Lara Dutta among others.
Directed by Tony D'Souza, "Azhar", which is jointly produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and MSM Motion Pictures, is slated for a worldwide release on May 13.
