GULAAB TURNS ‘MILAN TALKIES’!

Shooting for Tigmanshu Dhulia’s pet project ‘Milan Talkies’ began in the state capital on Monday. Single screen Gulaab Theatre has been turned into Allahabadbased erstwhile theatre ‘Milan Talkies’.

The film is being shot in Lucknow and Mathura. However, both cities will be shown as Allahabad-Tigmanshu’s hometown where he shot his debut film Haasil. Besides Ali Fazal, the film stars South actor Shraddha Srinath, Sanjay Mishra and Pankaj Tripathi. “The shoot started today (Monday) but the mahurat shot took place on Sunday as it was first day of Navratri. We plan to shoot for some 15odd days in Lucknow before we move to Mathura. We will shoot the exteriors of the film here while the interiors will be shot in Ravindralaya. The projector room part will be done in Mumbai,” Dhulia tells. Film’s producer PS Chhatwal, who owns a pharmaceutical company, says, “We have earlier made a short film and two feature films (Hindi and Marathi). With Tigmanshu helming the film, we are confident that he will be making a wonderful love story.” In Lucknow, the film will be shot in Residency, Dilkusha Garden, Charbagh, Golaganj and will have several shots on roads, informs film’s line-producer Aroon Singh Dicky.
