Even though he enjoys being before the cameras as much as he does being behind it, Tigmanshu Dhulia says he will not play director and actor simultaneously again. The lack of an actor for a part in his upcoming offering, Milan Talkies, compelled the director to play the role.

"But it won't happen again," he says, adding, "Directing, and simultaneously acting, is stressful. As a director, I was constantly thinking about whether or not the camera was properly placed, and if the other actors were on point. Eventually, I stopped bothering about my own make-up or costume."
