Tigmanshu Dhulia may have impressed the audiences with his directing and acting chops, but the filmmaker says balancing both the jobs in the same film is akin to walking a tightrope. The director, who played the father to the main lead (Ali Fazal) in his latest directorial Milan Talkies, said he decided to take up the part as other actors were unavailable.

This was Dhulia's first full-fledged role in his directorial venture. He previously made a guest appearance in his 2011 film Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster.
