When Fatima Sana Shaikh burst into tears for 'Metro... In Dino' immediately after relishing chips

Actress Fatima Sana Shaikh, who is awaiting the release of her upcoming film 'Metro... In Dino', has shared an interesting anecdote from the shooting of the film. The actress spoke with IANS ahead of the film's release, and shared how she had to switch on the character in a split second. One moment, she was busy eating chips during the break, and the other moment, when the director called for a shot, she quickly gulped it, and was all set to deliver the scene. Metro…In Dino - Official Trailer Speaking with IANS, Fatima said, "I had this in between that we were doing a scene and I have to, you know, walk and cry. If you have seen the trailer, there's a scene with Pritam da and Papon. So all that was happening. And the camera is somewhere far away. But, there was a zoom lens, so they can also capture you very clearly". She further mentioned, "And, I was just having chips while the rest of the people got ready. I didn't know. And it took a little time to tell them that they're ready. I had to burst into tears. I was eating chips. So Dada said, 'Rolling'. And I was like, 'f***'. And I quickly gulped and I started crying. But this is not found in any other set, that you can perform on call. That is only possible with him". The actress has reunited with Anurag for the second time for the upcoming film, 'Metro... In Dino' having collaborated with him earlier in 'Ludo'. Earlier, she cleared some misconceptions about the director, and said that he knows exactly what he wants. Fatima earlier told IANS, "I love working with him. Actually, there is a misunderstanding. He's a very organised person. When you're on set, your entire day goes by in 5-6 hours. You never shoot overtime. He's so fast. He can easily shoot 4-5 big scenes in a day, which is very tough for people, especially in big films where the cast is also big". The actress further mentioned that Anurag is highly productive, and knows what he wants, as she said, "It takes a long time, but he's highly productive. He knows his shots. He doesn't waste time figuring out. He knows what he wants". Presented by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series presents, in association with Anurag Basu Productions Pvt. Ltd., 'Metro In Dino' is produced by Bhushan Kumar , Krishan Kumar , Anurag Basu, and Taani Basu. The film is set to arrive in cinemas on July 4, 2025.

Fatima Sana Shaikh clears the air: 'Anurag Basu does work with a script'

Actress Fatima Sana Shaikh is clearing some misconceptions about filmmaker Anurag Basu . The actress has reunited with Anurag for the second time for the upcoming film, 'Metro... In Dino' having collaborated with him earlier in 'Ludo'. The actress recently spoke with IANS, and shared her experience of working with him, and what goes on the sets of an Anurag Basu film as the day unfolds. She also clarified that Anurag does work with a script by his side. Speaking with IANS, Fatima said, "I love working with him. Actually, there is a misunderstanding. He's a very organised person. When you're on set, your entire day goes by in 5-6 hours. You never shoot overtime. He's so fast. He can easily shoot 4-5 big scenes in a day, which is very tough for people, especially in big films where the cast is also big". The actress further mentioned that Anurag is highly productive, and knows what he wants, as she said, "It takes a long time, but he's highly productive. He knows his shots. He doesn't waste time figuring out. He knows what he wants". Years ago, Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor had claimed in a podcast with comedy collective AIB that Anurag works sans scripts in his films, as he shared his experience of working with him in 'Barfi' and 'Jagga Jasoos'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Didn't Anyone Tell You About This Power Saver? elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo However, Fatima's account differs from what Ranbir experienced as an actor in 'Barfi' and as actor-producer in 'Jagga Jasoos'. When asked if Anurag comes fully-prepared, the actress told IANS, "I think he's more than fully-prepared. I think he's just too instinctive. Also because he comes early, he does the blocking, he performs on his own. People don't see that. For actors to come, and just fully surrender, learn the lines, and do everything that they're doing, at that moment, for that, everything else has to be perfect. It's never like the actors come, and there's lighting, or figuring out, or blocking. It's never like that. He's always 100% ready. And there's space to explore". "It's not possible that a director doesn't know what he wants to make or that there is no script. It's impossible because you cannot make a film like 'Barfi' or 'Jagga Jasoos'. It's highly technical in that way. To make that world, and to make it so realistic, if you do not have a clear vision, you cannot make that possible", she added.

When is the WWE Draft 2025? Fans expect big changes after SummerSlam fallout

Image via WWE The 2025 WWE Draft may not be cancelled after all. While the annual roster shake-up traditionally follows WrestleMania in the spring, this year's edition appears to be headed for a strategic shift - possibly to September, according to multiple reports. Sources including and PWInsider suggest that WWE is considering moving the Draft to a post-SummerSlam window, aligning it with the company's season premiere episodes of RAW and SmackDown. This move would allow ongoing storylines to reach natural conclusions over the summer, while also setting the stage for a refreshed television product in the fall. Mike Johnson of PWInsider confirmed that the Draft hasn't been scrapped, saying it's simply a matter of 'where and when to do it.' The shift is reportedly part of WWE's broader strategy under Triple H's creative leadership, which has focused on long-term storytelling and smoother transitions between brands. Why WWE is holding off on the Draft The delay also appears to be influenced by recent NXT call-ups, many of whom are still finding their footing on the main roster. With WWE not in a rush to reshuffle its rosters, the focus has shifted to making sure these fresh faces get enough screen time before any major realignment occurs. Was R-Truth's Release a Work? Ilja Dragunov Return Update, Gunther's First Challenger & More Wrestling insider WrestleVotes echoed the sentiment in a Sportskeeda WrestleBinge Q&A, noting that 'they want to do it... just a date has not popped up yet.' The message is clear: WWE is still committed to a draft this year, but is carefully choosing its moment. Fans divided over format and timing Fan response on social media has been mixed. While some are relieved the Draft is still on, others have questioned its relevance. One user wrote, 'What's the point? Talent go all over the 3 brands all the time.' Another commented, 'Make sure people actually move brands this year. Last year barely anyone got drafted to a new brand.' Others are simply nostalgic for the days of the old Draft lottery machine, calling the current format 'bland.' However, there's also cautious optimism. 'Good. SmackDown needs it,' one fan posted, while another added, 'Better late than never.' If plans hold, the WWE Draft 2025 will follow SummerSlam in early August and land sometime in September, just in time for WWE's fall season reset. Until then, fans will be watching closely to see who stays, who goes - and who surprises everyone. Also Read: WWE Hall of Famer predicts Ron Killings could win World Championship
