Tigmanshu Dhulia has finally ended his six-year old search for a leading man in his hibernating project Milan Talkies.

After going into the hands of such varied heroes as Prateik Babbar, Shahid Kapoor and Imran Khan " Milan Talkies " a quirky tale of a small-town video pirate in the 1970s, has passed into the hands of Vikrant Massey, last seen as the surreptitious boyfriend sneaking up on Ridhima Sud in Zoya Akhtar's Dil Dhadakne Do and in an icecream ad with Alia Bhatt.

Now the upcoming and much talked-about Vikrant, who currently plays the lead in Konkona Sen Sharma's directorial debut A Death In The Gunj, is relieved to see his career finally moving in the right direction. Vikram confesses, "Yes, I am doing Milan Talkies. It's been a very long struggle. I started on television in 2004. Then the bit parts like that of Ranveer Singh's buddy in Lootera came my way. I've waited a long time for solid opportunities to come my way."
