The teaser of #Azhar is exciting and garam! Congrats @SnehaRajani @EkmainaurEktu7 @emraanhashmi Tony and @rajatsaroraa

Meanwhile, the controversial man, Kamaal R Khan, has given a negative response for the latest teaser calling it a flop.

#Azhar is flop with very first teaser only coz he says- Match Fix Karne Kaa Ilzam Hai Mujhpar. He could have said- I m Azhar n I m a fixer.

Azharuddin was biggest fixer so film can be good with real story. But Ekta is making it with consent of Azhar so they will show him honest.
