Ali’s ancestral home will be his new set

While Ali Fazal was excited to shoot in his hometown Lucknow for Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Milan Talkies, he was on cloud nine when he got to know that the filmmaker had decided to shoot some portions in the actor’s very own house.

Ali hails from Lucknow, where his ancestral property still stands till date.

“Ali is very excited to be shooting in his hometown and the team of Milan Talkies have a few locations figured out. Out of these, Ali had recommended his ancestral home, which is in the main city. The team is going to shoot in Ali’s home, which is historical and beautiful,” says the source.

Tigmanshu first started talking about Milan Talkies in 2012 and in interviews at that time, he called the film a small town love story. Imran Khan was attached to the project at one point but it could not take off then.

Produced by P.S. Chhatwal, Filmy Keeda Productions, Prakash Bhatt, and Purple Bull, the film is set to release this year.
