Tigmanshu Dhulia Discusses Shelved Films and Views on Love Stories
Filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia reflected on two shelved projects: 'Killing of a Porn Filmmaker' with Irrfan Khan, halted after a producer withdrew funding, and the period film 'Ghulami' with Sunny Deol and Irrfan, stopped shortly after shooting began due to financial issues. Dhulia also expressed disinterest in making conventional love stories, citing more compelling subjects and a preference for diverse themes beyond romance, despite having directed a few varied films in his career.
