It's the story ofu00a0 a small-town North Indian boy who makes duplicates of Bollywood blockbusters. I want to shoot the film in one of UP's towns, but every town is being used for film shootings. There are so many films under production like Zilla Ghaziabad, Tamanche, Gangs Of Wasseypur and Vibhishan. Where do I go?" Incidentally, Dhulia has shot his earlier film Haasil in Varanasi. In fact, the director has repeatedly located his films in the state. He considered locating Milan Talkies in Meerut, but had to decide against that town, too. "I am doing an adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet in Meerut. So I can't do Milan Talkies in that town also. I am stuck." It looks like all the towns of UP are on Bollywood's map, for now at least.
