Tigmanshu Dhulia , a dialogue writer, director, actor, screenwriter, and producer, has some big projects this year. While his directorial, Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster 3 will release in mid-2018, he will star in one of the biggest films of the year, Zero , alongside Shah Rukh Khan . But the multi-talented filmmaker has no plans to stop there. It is reported that he will revive his much-awaited project, Milan Talkies , which was put on the backburner for the past few years. If sources are to rely on then he has zeroed in on Ali Fazal and South sensation, Shraddha Srinath , as the lead actors for Milan Talkies.

For the unversed, Shraddha is one of South India's leading actors who has made her mark in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada cinema. She will join the team in Lucknow in a few days as the film will be shot in and around Uttar Pradesh and other places including Vrindavan.

Talking about the film, Tigmanshu had revealed to a daily, "The film is about single screen and situation of such talkie is actually really bad in current days. They have lost its old world charm. We will shoot in portions like exterior can be of one cinema, the interior of other and projection room somewhere else. We have seen many in Lucknow — Gulaab, Pratibha, Jai Bharat and Hind.”
