Earlier this week, the makers of Aazam: Rise of a New Don unveiled the film’s first look, featuring Jimmy Sheirgill. Shravan Tiwari’s directorial venture, which revolves around the succession battle as crime lord Nawab Khan barely has a fortnight to live, sees Sheirgill as a dreaded gangster. Given his penchant for thrillers, saying yes to the project was a no-brainer for the actor. “It follows a series of events that happens over one night, and shakes up the crime world. There’s more to the story than meets the eye, and that is the beauty of the script. I am fond of thrillers, and this one [appealed to me], especially the well-written dialogues. I read the entire script in one go,” says Sheirgill. He is joined by Abhimanyu Singh and Indraneil Sengupta in the movie.
