Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akthar starrer 'Wazir' is all set to hit theatres next month and if the latest is to be believed, a character in the film is inspired by politician Farooq Abdullah.

Says a source, "A character named Yazaad Qureshi (played by Manav Kaul) is loosely based on the well-known politician. However, the makers of the film are trying to keep things under wraps to avoid controversies. A few glimpses of the trailer show Kaul dressed similar to Abdullah. Apparently, his body language and mannerisms are also inspired by the veteran political leader."
