Aditya Roy Kapur On Working In Metro In Dino After The Night Manager: 'Nice To Do Something Light'
Last Updated:
Aditya Roy Kapur says that his next film, Metro In Dino, marks a new chapter in his career.
Having dabbled in romance, action, thrillers and ensemble dramas, Aditya Roy Kapur has continually evolved his craft with each project. His next, Metro In Dino, marks yet another new chapter in his journey as an actor—one that excites him for being unfamiliar territory.
Talking about where this film fits in his personal journey, Aditya shares, 'This seems like something I haven't done before as an actor. It's a very interesting idiosyncratic character that seems to dance to the beat of his own drum and gave me the opportunity to really take chances and have fun with it. It's nice to be able to do something light, the last thing that I did was The Night Manager which was very fulfilling but also intense, so it's nice to go from something intense to something lighter. In this way, you are doing different things. I think it's going to be an interesting and fun character and it's a genre that I enjoy."
He also went on to add how much he enjoyed Life in a… Metro, which was released in 2007. Said Aditya, 'I enjoyed the first Metro, so doing this one is something I am looking forward to. For me, my journey as an actor is just about trying to do things that I haven't done before. It's always exciting, gets you the slight amount of fear, which can be a very good driving force when you are going into the unknown, and I find that that's when you are the most alive and you can do your best work. When you are just at the edge of kind of something, you don't know whether it's good or not."
With Metro In Dino, Aditya isn't just stepping into a new role—he's leaning into uncertainty, challenging himself to grow, and embracing the thrill of the unknown.

Actor Anupam Kher has shared a video from one of his recent adventures in Hyderabad on how his car got stuck in a 'jungle' and he had to reach the set of his film after climbing a wall. Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Anupam posted the clip as he gave an account of what happened that led to the situation. (Also Read | 'Tired' Anupam Kher falls asleep on Boman Irani's lap inside car after Tanvi The Great's screening in Cannes. See pic) The video started with Anupam, dressed in a white T-shirt, grey pants, and a cap, standing near a car. It was seen stuck on a narrow road surrounded by greenery. A small wall separated the set and the actor. In the clip, Anupam said, 'Aaj mera driver yaha par film ki shooting ke liye rasta bhool gaya. Dekho jungle mein le aaya. Shooting meri uss taraf hai (Today my driver forgot the route to my shooting here. See he brought me to a jungle. My shooting is on the other side)." The camera showed a forest-like area at first, and then the sets on the other side of the wall. A post shared by Anupam Kher (@anupampkher) A smiling Anupam gave a glimpse of several people standing near the wall to help him. He said, 'Ab jo unit ke baaki log hai, woh mujhe jungle se seedhiyon pe chadhake leke jayenge. Dekho, kya kya karna padta hai iss profession ke liye (Now, the other people of the unit will take me from the jungle via a ladder. See what all I've to do for this profession)." Laughing, he said, "Sab log mujhe lene aaye hai. Gaadi meri atak gayi hai (Everyone has come to take me. My car is stuck here)." The actor then stood on a chair and stepped on a ladder before climbing the wall with ease. After reaching the other side, he thanked those who helped him. Sharing the video, Anupam wrote, "Iss taraf se uss taraf (From this side to that)! In my 40 years of cinema journey, I have entered my shooting locations in different ways! But today was not only unique but quite comical too." "Shooting in Hyderabad for #Prabhas starrer untitled film, my driver decided to be adventurous. Soon we entered a jungle kind of a place and then hit a dead end. Car couldn't be reversed! What happened next please watch it here! #KuchBhiHoSaktaHai," he concluded. Anupam recently announced his next yet-to-be-titled film with Prabhas. Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, this will mark Anupam's 544th film.
