Tigmanshu Dhulia today has come a long way in his career. He is known for making films like Paan Singh Tomar. But do you know he started his directing career in television? Well, recalling his earlier days, the director shares a funny anecdote about how he tried to show off in front of Aamir Khan. The actor was then shooting for Sarfarosh.
In an interview, Tigmanshu said, “We were shooting at Esel Studio in Trombay, it used to be a cheap studio to shoot at. They had everything there; a petrol pump, a court, a village, a temple. We were working one day, and we noticed some excitement. Lots of cars started coming in. We were curious, and we were told that Aamir Khan had come to shoot Sarfarosh.”
Speaking further with Bollywood Hungama, Tigmanshu Dhulia said that we decided to put together a ‘lavish’ shot. He said, “Acha, inko dikhate hain. Maine kaha, ‘Yeh crane le jao chhat pe haveli ke’ (I wanted to show off in front of the Sarfarosh crew, so I told my people to put together a lavish crane shot). Maine khatarnak shot lagaya, sirf dikhane ke liye unko (I designed a killer shot, just to show those people).”
