TIL Desk Bollywood/ It is a happy co-incidence that actor Ali Fazal has done his first full-fledged romantic film “Milan Talkies” right when his own love story with actress Richa Chadha unfolds. Reluctantly Ali, who is currently looking at the second season of his successful digital series “Mirzapur”, admits that being in love does make celluloid love more interesting.
“I am sure it affects the way you look at love. How can it not? But more than my own feelings, I relied on my director Tigmanshu Dhulia to guide me through the conventions of love in ‘Milan Talkies’. He had never done a full-on love story. Neither had I.” Ali rues the scarcity of love stories on celluloid.
“We don’t really get bonafide love stories like ‘Milan Talkies’ any more. Here all the conventions of filmy love are employed. And yet there is a refreshing attitude to love in this film.” The couple in “Milan Talkies” is seen being refreshingly candid about sex.
