'Bullett Raja' is my ode to '70s cinema: Tigmanshu Dhulia

Tigmanshu Dhulia is a far cry from the films that he makes. While his repertoire boasts of movies that are loaded with blood, gore, politics and conspiracy, in reality, he's a laidback person who loves spending quality time with his dog. The maverick filmmaker talks about how his life changed after the National Award-winning Paan Singh Tomar, why Saif Ali Khan was the perfect choice for Bullett Raja and why he doesn't find acting a lucrative career
What attracted you to Bullett Raja?
I am paying homage to the cinema of the ’70s and early ’80s. I was a great admirer of Vijay Anand and Raj Khosla alongside world cinema. I grew up in Allahabad and we would hear stories about quirky gangsters. Bullett Raja is a mixture of all those colourful characters. I have never made a film of this scale before. For Saif (Ali Khan) and me, this is a first.

Tigmanshu Dhulia enjoys a light moment with Saif Ali Khan and Sonakshi Sinha, the lead pair of his forthcoming film Bullett Raja
