Nitesh Tiwari of Dangal fame lets stories take him to the place of shooting but says he mostly likes to shoot at real locations. His films as a director and writer mostly tell the stories of characters that are close to reality.
Asked about the choice of shooting location, Tiwari told IANS: "I don't make a conscious decision that this is where I want to shoot. I like stories to take me (to the location) and I mostly like to shoot in real locations. That's the kind of filmmaker I am."
"So whatever the story demands, I try to keep it as real as possible unless there are certain situations that can't be done in real life. As far as possible, I would like to shoot in real locations. I wouldn't like to restrict myself to a particular place," added the director of "Bhoothnath Returns".
