Emraan Hashmi set to play Pak-India soldier, but something about his first look is off

What's Emraan Hashmi's next big film role? Captain Nawab, a border-crossing soldier who wears both flags on his sleeves.

Emraan tweeted a first look at his character earlier today.

It looked a little too familiar and soon enough, people figured out why!

It's not that old a game that you could get away with it!

Yep, it's not just in our heads. The poster for Captain Nawab is just like the poster for the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops.

The poster suggests that Emraan Hashmi will be playing a soldier who serves both Pakistan and India. According to DNA India, when asked about the border-crossing element of his character, the actor replied "That’s the DNA of the film. I know it’ll spark off assumptions but I’ll hold the suspense for now."

Captain Nawab will be helmed by Azhar director Tony D'Souza and while scripting is in progress, Emraan hints at the film being inspired by true events.
