Mumbai, June 3 (The Trending People) – As anticipation builds for the release of his upcoming musical venture, 'Metro In Dino,' Bollywood actor Aditya Roy Kapur has offered insights into his dynamic collaboration with acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Basu. The film marks their second project together, following the critically appreciated 'Ludo.'
Kapur revealed that the unique narrative and the distinctive musical storytelling of 'Metro In Dino' were major draws for him. He found himself particularly intrigued by the film's ambitious attempt to seamlessly weave conversations with musical numbers – a creative challenge he hadn't fully embraced before.
"Working with Dada [Anurag Basu] means every day is a fresh discovery, and every day presents an enjoyable challenge," Kapur shared, reflecting on his experience with the director. "It's unpredictable; you never know what new idea he'll introduce, and that's the most exciting aspect of the process."
The actor further elaborated on the film's musical demands. "With this project, there’s a significant musical component. We’re trying to integrate music into scenes, flowing in and out of the narrative. So, navigating the transition from dialogue into singing and then back to dialogue was a new territory to explore. It was both demanding and immensely satisfying."
For Kapur, the allure lay precisely in this unpredictability – not just in Basu's creative vision but also in the film's inherent musical rhythm.
'Metro In Dino' boasts an ensemble cast featuring industry stalwarts such as Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, and Neena Gupta.
The film's music is composed by Pritam, marking another collaboration between the celebrated musician and Anurag Basu. Their partnership on 'Metro In Dino' comes five years after their last joint venture, 'Ludo.' Basu and Pritam's professional relationship traces back to their first project, 'Gangster,' a film known for its chartbuster soundtrack that set the stage for their enduring creative alliance.
