New Delhi: Former Indian cricket captain Mohammed Azharuddin, whose life's lows and highs will be depicted with added drama in forthcoming film "Azhar", says that he took a lot of convincing before the film went on floors.

"I took a lot of convincing. When I read the script, I had to change a lot and the makers also agreed to the changes," Azharuddin told reporters here at a press conference Tuesday for the film's promotion.
