Actor Emraan Hashmi is learning the nuances of the most celebrated sport, cricket. The actor, who has signed a biopic based on Indian cricketer Mohammad Azharruddin is currently in Sydney to watch the Australia-India Test Match.

What's more exciting is that the cricketer's son Asad is actually helping the actor learn his father's playing style for the flick.

A source says, "Asad is not playing professionally, but he's well-versed with Azhar's style. Emmi is passionate about cricket, but he has to learn Azhar's style. And who better than his own son?"

Asad has learnt few of his father's signature shots and was selected for Uttar Pradesh's Vijay Hazare Trophy in November 2014.
