I too think the same at first look. But, somehow feel that it might be a different one. 

let me analyse it.

I think you got it correct!

http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=200019308 

and here is the key (Flora of Pakisthan) to differentiate this genus from Clerodendron 

Inflorescence usually umbellate cymes. Fruiting calyx conspicuously accrescent...........................................Clerodendrum

Inflorescence elongate, racemiform. Fruiting calyx not accrescent......................................................................Caryopteris
