Asked how challenging would it be to play Azharuddin's first wife, Prachi said: "It will be quite challenging as I don't think anybody knows (much) about Naureen yet. We know about her, but we don't know her.
"It will be challenging because it's for the first time that somebody is putting a face on her onscreen."
The actress said the team of Azhar has already begun shooting the on-field portions in London and she is looking forward to joining the team soon.
