Dodging questions about whether Nargis Fakhri has been roped in as the female lead for Azhar, a biopic on former Indian skipper Mohammad Azharuddin, producer Ekta Kapoor has said the discussion is on with some names.

The final name, she said, would only be revealed once we sign on the dotted line. "I don't know where these reports come from. I think some journalist has a dream and next day it gets printed," Ekta said on being asked if Nargis is a part of the film.

Talking about the "big wish list" for the Azhar, she added: "We have a couple of names, but like I said, we have just finished writing the film, and we have certain number of cast members to be discussed. The shooting will start from the next month and we are still in discussion with actors. I can't disclose anything till we sign on the dotted line."

It was reported that Nargis will be playing Azharuddin's second wife Sangeeta Bijlani in the film. Meanwhile, actor Prachi Desai has been signed to play the cricketer's first wife Naureen.

Further, Ekta said: "It took whole one year to write this film as the story is so huge and I think that much time will be taken into cast as well."
