As Tinseltown whispers turn into audible buzz, fans are rife with excitement following a leaked snapshot from the sets of Anurag Basu’s upcoming cinematic venture, ‘Metro In Dino’. This glimpse into the on-set ambience showcases none other than Ali Fazal and Fatima Sana Shaikh, soaked in what appears to be a rain sequence, offering a tantalizing preview of what is shaping up to be a modern classic in the making.
The gifted director, Anurag Basu, revered for his unorthodox yet heartfelt narratives in films such as ‘Barfi!’ and ‘Life in a… Metro’, orchestrates this eagerly awaited Bollywood production. As the team drives through the final laps of their shooting schedule, anticipation for the film’s release on 29th November surges ahead.
Delving into the dynamics on set, a close source shared insights into the nascent on-screen pairing of Ali Fazal and Fatima Sana Shaikh. According to the source, the actors have developed a close-knit camaraderie not just on screen but beyond, as well. With two shooting schedules completed and another shortly underway in Mumbai, the actors and the shooting crew are pouring their collective creative energies into this project.
The photograph that has set social media platforms ablaze captures the duo with Basu, hinting at the director’s cinematic vision for a scene drenched in more than just water. The candid shot reveals a vibrant on-set energy and opens a window into the passionate world Anurag Basu is known to create.
‘Metro In Dino’ is not just a standalone project but finds its roots in Basu’s earlier work, drawing inspiration from ‘Life in a… Metro’, a film that had resonated deeply with audiences. With a star-studded roster including Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, the versatile Konkana Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, the esteemed Neena Gupta, and Anupam Kher, the film is poised to don the mantle of a captivating romantic drama.
Expanding on his labor of love, Basu professed that ‘Metro In Dino’ celebrates the human spirit and is a narrative that has been painstakingly crafted for the audience. The synergy with producer Bhushan Kumar, who he regards as a foundational pillar in his creative edifice, has been instrumental in bringing this story to life.
Basu’s desire to merge contemporary artistry with compelling storytelling is evident as he lauds his collaboration with his comrades-in-craft, including Pritam, the musical maestro whose compositions are expected to breathe life into the film’s narrative.
Anurag Basu’s oeuvre is eclectic, with each film stamping his unique directorial signature on the canvas of Indian cinema. ‘Ludo’, ‘Jagga Jasoos’, and the upcoming ‘Aashiqui 3’, featuring Kartik Aaryan, are testaments to his ever-evolving storytelling prowess.
As this new journey ‘Metro In Dino’ gears up for its cinematic debut, the blend of a talented cast, proven directorial finesse, and the enriching musical involvement suggests a cinematic experience that promises to engage and enchant its audience, making the wait for its autumnal release all the more worthy. With each revealed detail and leaked image, the narrative of romance and modern life that Basu is known for, seems set to unfurl in a story that will command attention in theaters nationwide.
