While remembering the late actor, Anurag Basu shared that Konkona started crying during the shoot of a scene in the movie 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 Basu at the event. 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 2007 film Life In A Metro was an anomaly in every way. A Bollywood ensemble that didn't consist of any Khans or Kapoors, did not have large-scale dance numbers, and did not have a traditional happy ending. Out of the several characters in the film, Konkona Sensharma's and Irrfan Khan's characters did manage to find their happy ending after the two realised their love for each other. Now, after 18 years, Basu has come back with a sequel, Metro In Dino, and while promoting the release of the song 'Zamaana Lage' from the film, the director remembered actor Irrfan and singer KK. While Irrfan played the role of Monty in the film, KK sang two of the most famous tracks from the film's album: 'Alvida' and 'O Meri Jaan'. As the new cast took to the stage at the promotional event in Mumbai, Basu admitted missing Irrfan and shared how Konkona teared up while filming as she missed Irrfan. He said, '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.'
