Filmmaker Anurag Basu who is best known for helming projects like Jagga Jasoos, Barfi, Murder and Kites is all set to take up the director¡¯s seat again. He along with his ensemble team has announced an anthology titled 'Metro...In Dino'. Presented by Anurag Basu Productions Pvt Ltd and produced by Bhushan Kumar, the film will have the master of musicals, Pritam taking care of the tunes.
Sara and Aditya together shared a picture on their Instagram which was captioned, ¡°Super excited and grateful to be part of #MetroInDino. Shoot begins soon!!!¡± The film will also feature Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, and Fatima Sana Shaikh among others.
It is not to be assumed that 'Metro... In Dino' is a sequel to Anurag¡¯s 2007 film ¡®Life In A¡ Metro¡¯, which also had a song named ¡®In Dino¡¯. The filmmaker in an earlier interview spoke about this and told TOI, "It is a film with an ensemble cast just like Ludo and Life In A Metro. It will have a mix of known and new faces¡ Right now we're juggling with dates.''
Reportedly, this film will showcase the bittersweet tales of human relationships based on contemporary times. This yet-to-begin-shooting film also features Konkana Sensharma who worked with Anurag in Life In A Metro (2007). Anurag on his Dias has also helmed projects like Saaya and Tumsa Nahi Dekha.
Spilling some beans on the anthology, director Anurag Basu said in a statement, 'Metro¡ In Dino is a tale of the people and for the people. It has been a while I am working on this one and I am glad to be collaborating with a powerhouse like Bhushan Kumar yet again who has always been like a pillar to me!¡±
¡°The storyline is very fresh and relevant as I look forward to collaborating with amazing artists who bring that essence of contemporary aura with them. As music plays a very important role in any film, I couldn¡¯t be more happy to be collaborating with my dear friend Pritam who has literally added life to the characters and story with his work,¡± he added.
Meanwhile, Anurag Basu also has Aashiqui¡¯s third instalment in his kitty that stars Kartik Aaryan in lead. While sharing a clip featuring the song Ab Tere Bin in the background, Kartik wrote back in September, ¡°Ab Tere Bin Ji Lenge Hum Zeher Zindagi Ka Pi Lenge Hum #Aashiqui3 This one is going to be Heart-wrenching !! My First with Basu Da¡±
