Hunt gets over as Aditya Roy Kapoor finalised for Milan Talkies

All speculations now come to be seen at the landing point as Aditya Roy Kapoor is confirmed to play the lead role in Balaji’s Milan Talkies. Soon after Imran Khan quietly walked out of the project, the search started to replace him but nothing could fall into place.

Director Tigmanshu Dhulia, who was riding high on success after Paan Singh Tomar and Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns, had initially thought of Imran Khan for the lead role but after the actor’s decision of walking out from the project, no replaceable face could be found. Shahid Kapoor and Varun Dhawan were too reported showing their disinterest in the project. The Aashiqui 2 star meanwhile caught Dhulia’s attention after he impressed him by his recent performances.

Milan Talkies is a small town story set in Uttar Pradesh where a boy works in a cinema hall and makes pirated movies by recording. Tigmanshu said that he thought Aditya could do justice to the challenging role. The national award winning filmmaker’s last movie Bullet Raja was not taken with open arms at the box office last year therefore he hopes to make a comeback with Milan Talkies.
