Actor Ali Fazal, who has wrapped up the first schedule for Tigmanshu Dhulia’s ‘Milan Talkies’, says he feels a “deep” connect to the project as he not just acted in it, but did other roles behind the camera.

“We just wrapped a hectic schedule in Mathura and Lucknow for ‘Milan Talkies’. It’s been surreal, this journey with my maestro – Tigmanshu Dhulia. Cinema isn’t just what we see on that one Friday; it’s this! This is an artiste’s life,” Ali said in a statement.

“The days we make magic and create, despite all odds in some cases. This will probably be the only film where I have acted, operated camera a few times and called in slates. So my connection is deep with this one,” he added. (Also Check: Ali Fazal drops over 10 kg to go lean for ‘Milan Talkies’)
