The serial kisser of Bollywood is trying his hands in the production department and for his debut production film he chose film titled 'Captian Nawab'. It's a film based on a real army captain. 

The actor-producer has been facing trolls of plagiarism as the film's poster had a similarity to the video game Call On Duty: Black Ops. 

The actor on the controversy stated, "It's not really a biopic but inspired by a true event with excerpts taken from this person's experience in Pakistan.It's the story of a new army recruit who crossed the border. He was in Pakistan for a considerable time and it's about how he's stuck between both countries with them questioning him.We aren't saying it's a particular person's life, there's a book which is a source of inspiration. But a lot from it has been edited and some bits added to the script."

 On plagiarism charges, Emraan quipped, "I reacted on Twitter after the poster was out. I don't think there is a copyright on a picture of someone sitting with two guns in their hand. We didn't take the trolling seriously but did say that the similarity starts and ends there. They failed to notice the concept of India on one side and Pakistan on the other and criticised us for only one aspect. We moved on. That wasn't the main poster anyway, it was just an announcement. The new artwork will be different."
