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."
