Themes and Connections

Both films, 'Metro In Dino' and 'Life In A Metro', delve into the complexities of modern relationships and love in urban settings.

Fatima Sana Shaikh's Experience

In a recent interview, Fatima Sana Shaikh expressed her admiration for Anurag Basu, sharing insights about her collaboration with him on 'Metro In Dino' and 'Ludo'. She remarked, 'As a director, he is thoughtful and attentive. Many assume that prolonged filming means excessive shooting, but that’s not true. Coordinating schedules for an ensemble cast is challenging. If you place your trust in him, he will elicit the best performances from you. His characters are exceptionally well-crafted.'

Upcoming Projects

Looking ahead, Anurag Basu is set to direct a new untitled romantic drama featuring Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela.
