Irrfan Khan gave the concept for Metro In Dino, the Life in a Metro sequel, reveals Anurag Basu: I didnt have any plans

Anurag recollects dialog with Irrfan that led to Metro… In Dino

In dialog with News18, Anurag shared a heartfelt anecdote about how Metro… In Dino got here to be. “After Jagga Jasoos, Irrfan and I have been chatting, and he out of the blue mentioned, ‘Metro 2 banaate hai’ (Let’s make Metro 2). It wasn’t proper after Life in a… Metro. This was years later. But it was his suggestion that planted the seed for this movie.”

Irrfan performed a key position within the unique movie, which stood out for its mosaic of interconnected tales round city relationships. His efficiency grew to become one of many defining components of Life in a… Metro.

Although there have been rumours as early as 2017 that Irrfan had signed on for the sequel, the movie was delayed and ultimately took a distinct form. Interestingly, Anurag by no means meant to make a trilogy of hyperlinked movies. 

“I didn’t have any plans of constructing a trilogy. I used to be scared if Life In A Metro would even work. It was one thing very completely different. But after that, I bought the cling of it. I began having fun with writing hyperlinked movies. Then Ludo occurred,” mentioned Anurag
