Ali Fazal roped in for Tigmanshu Dhulia's next 'Milan Talkies'

Tigmanshu Dhulia's romantic drama Milan Talkies has gone through several changes since the time of its inception. Names of actors Shahid Kapoor, Ayushman Khurana and Aditya Roy Kapur did the rounds for the film's lead role and now the makers have finally zeroed in on Ali Fazal.

Sources say that Ali has read the script and given a thumbs up to it and will commence shooting for the film from March. "He has given his dates and Tigmanshu is currently on the lookout for the leading lady. It is set in North India and Ali will start shooting in the second week of March after he returns from the Academy Awards ceremony to be held on March 4," said the source close to the actor.

Meanwhile, Ali is soon going to take off to the U.S. to work on his next International project after impressing one and all in Victoria & Abdul. The actor will also attend the Oscars as Victoria&Abdul has been nominated in two prestigious categories.

Ali, in fact, has a packed 2018. The actor recently wrapped up the shooting for Prakash Raj’s Tadka with Nana Patekar, Taapsee Pannu and Shriya Saran, and soon will be starting his reading sessions for Milan Talkies.
He will also be seen opposite Diana Penty once again in the official sequel of 2016's hit comedy Happy Bhaag Jayegi.
