Anurag Basu says 'Konkona started crying' while missing Irrfan Khan during Metro...In Dino shoot
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 29 (ANI): Director Anurag Basu admitted missing late actor Irrfan Khan and shared how actress Konkana Sen Sharma started crying while filming 'Metro...In Dino' as she missed her co-star and friend Irrfan Khan.
At the 'Zamaana Lage' song of 'Metro..In Dino' launch event, Anurag Basu was joined by the cast of 'Life In a Metro' sequel, which also starred Irrfan Khan in the lead role.
In the first instalment, Konkana Sen was paired with Irrfan Khan, the couple which finally gets a happy ending in the movie.
From the original cast, Konkana is the only actor who is returning in its sequel. It was hard for the actress to work in the movie again after her dear friend and co-star Irrfan Khan passed away in 2020.
While remembering the late actor, Anurag Basu shared that Konkana Sharma started crying during the shoot of a scene in the movie (Metro...In Dino) as the tone of it was a "little similar" to a scene from the first instalment.
He also remembered singer KK at the event as the singer sang two of the most famous tracks from the prequel's album: 'Alvida' and 'O Meri Jaan'.
"We were shooting a scene, and the tone for it was a little similar to a scene from the first film. Suddenly, Konkona started crying, and even right now, I am worried that the same will happen if someone asks a question about him. We miss him; we miss KK very much, and there are many others who are missing now, with whom we collaborated earlier," said Anurag Basu at the Metro In Dino promotional event in Mumbai.
After 'Life in a... Metro" and 'Ludo', 'Metro...In Dino' is the final chapter of Anurag Basu's trilogy of hyperlinked cinema.
Backed by producer Bhushan Kumar, the film introduces a world of modern love and relationships.
The song is composed by Pritam and brings back the creative collaboration between him and director Anurag Basu, known for crafting memorable musical narratives.
The sequel features an impressive cast which includes Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Neena Gupta and Saswata Chatterjee.
The film is set to release on July 4, 2025. (ANI) .

Metro in Dino trailer explores modern love across generations — From Gen Z to elderly romance, here what Anurag Basu wants to showcase
Anurag Basu's upcoming film Metro in Dino has stirred conversation with its trailer, not just for its ensemble cast and soulful music but for its sensitive portrayal of love in different stages of Life. Lauded as a spiritual successor to Life in a Metro (2007), the film reflects how relationship dynamics have evolved—from Gen Z's complex dating lives to millennial dilemmas and even elderly love stories that still seek connection and companionship. Love in the times of modern India: A generational breakdown The trailer gives a glimpse into six stories—each representing a unique kind of relationship set in the hustle and isolation of city life. Gen Z romance: digital-age complications In Metro in Dino, Sara Ali Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur portray a young couple navigating the complexities of modern relationships. Their story reflects how younger generations often wrestle with commitment, identity, and the impact of social media on emotional bonding. Quick love, faster heartbreak, and self-discovery define their arc. In a candid moment from the trailer, Sara's character confronts Aditya, saying, "You're a commitment-phobic man-child," highlighting the emotional challenges faced by Gen Z in the realm of love. Millennials: Career Vs. connection Fatima Sana Shaikh and Ali Fazal bring forward the complexities faced by urban millennials—balancing career, emotional baggage, and long-term compatibility. Their narrative hints at a generation that is constantly trying to "fix" relationships while chasing stability. Elderly love: a second chance Veteran actors Pankaj Tripathi and Neena Gupta portray a tender, late-life connection. Their story is heartwarming and nostalgic, touching upon the loneliness that often follows retirement or personal loss and how love can bloom even after decades. Actors like Anupam Kher and Konkona Sen Sharma also feature in similar emotionally rich arcs that highlight love beyond youth. A callback to Life in a Metro The style, tone, and interlinked storytelling of Metro in Dino instantly remind viewers of Basu's Life in a Metro, which explored urban loneliness and complicated relationships in a rapidly growing city. While that film reflected the early 2000s mindset, Metro in Dino updates the narrative to reflect today's social shifts: Anurag Basu's storytelling remains emotionally grounded, but now it also mirrors how love has become more individualistic, nuanced, and sometimes fragile. Why this film matters now? In a world of fast swipes and fleeting connections, Metro… in Dino seems to ask a fundamental question: Do we still believe in lasting love? By showing various types of love—messy, slow, intense, and rediscovered—the film becomes a mirror for our times. It's not just about falling in love anymore. It's about healing, understanding, and growing through it—all across generations.
