Tigmanshu
Dhulia's
Milan
Talkies
has
undergone
several
changes
in
casting
the
lead
actor
with
Ali
Fazal
being
the
latest
to
be
in
talks
for
the
film.
There
were
reports
that
Dhulia
had
roped
in
the
actor
for
the
project,
for
which
names
of
Imran
Khan
and
Shahid
Kapoor
were
doing
the
rounds.
Coming
from
the
success
of
Fukrey
Returns
and
Oscar-nominated
Victoria
and
Abdul,
Ali
says
it
would
be
great
if
he
lands
Milan
Talkies.
"We
are
still
in
early
stages.
It's
almost
just
talks
now.
I
would
be
very
happy
if
this
works
out
and
we
go
on
floors,
whenever
we
do.
It's
his
dream
project
so
I
am
sure
you'll
get
the
real
scoop
from
him," Ali
told
PTI.
The
actor
added
he
would
be
thrilled
to
score
the
project.
"I
am
excited
as
any
actor
would
be
in
today's
day
and
age
where
cinema
is
changing.
We
need
to
do
good
films,
good
content
because
we
are
going
global...
I
am
just
excited
to
be
part
of
good
projects.
It
will
be
a
big
step
forward
at
home."
Ali's
last
release
Fukrey
Returns
was
a
hit
and
his
first
international
film
with
veteran
actor
Judi
Dench
bagged
two
nominations
in
Best
Costume
Design,
and
Best
Make-up
and
Hairstyling
categories
at
the
Oscars.
For
the
31-year-old
actor,
stakes
are
higher
after
every
success.
"People
start
looking
at
your
every
move
after
a
success.
I'm
very
happy
that
after
Fukrey
Returns,
the
steam
for
Victoria
and
Abdul
has
again
picked
up
because
we
are
at
the
Oscars...
If
your
film
does
well,
suddenly
you're
hot
in
the
market.
You
do
your
next
few
films
and
then
the
next
Friday
comes
-
people
watch
if
you
pass
or
fail."
Ali
said
the
motivation,
irrespective
of
success
or
failure,
is
to
always
work
with
good
production
houses
and
an
able
director.
"And
sometimes
there
is
a
director,
like
Tigmanshu
sir
who
is
a
phenomenal
guy.
I
would
never
leave
a
chance
to
work
with
him," he
added.
The
actor
recently
walked
the
ramp
for
Marks
&
Spencer's
Spring
Summer
2018
Collection.
Ali
said
walking
the
runway
is
scary
but
an
equally
thrilling
experience.
"Everybody
is
fashion
conscious,
you
have
to
be.
It
speaks
of
who
you
are.
It's
not
wearing
the
next
thing
in
your
cupboard,
you
wear
an
attitude.
Style
isn't
something
you
wear
everyday.
It's
in
you,
therefore
it
speaks
through
your
clothes."pti
