Anurag Basu on Metro... In Dino, Family & Filmmaking: An Exclusive Interview

How does Metro... In Dino reflect your personal experiences?

Anurag Basu:
The film is deeply personal. Many moments in Metro... In Dino are taken from my life with family and friends. My wife Tani even joked that I’ve put all our moments in the film. It allowed me to improvise and reflect life as I’ve seen it.

Do you consider Metro... In Dino a sequel to Life in a... Metro?

Anurag Basu:
No, not really. It’s not a sequel in storyline or structure. It’s a new take on love, heartbreak, and human connection, set in today's times. The characters are completely different, and the themes more contemporary.

Which actor surprised you most in this film?

Anurag Basu:
Honestly, all of them did. Whether it was Sara Ali Khan in a never-seen-before role, or veterans like Konkona Sen Sharma and Anupam Kher, everyone brought something fresh. Aditya Roy Kapur stood out for his sincerity and underrated acting skills.

What’s your response to criticism about being a ‘slow’ filmmaker?

Anurag Basu:
It’s unfair. My earlier films came quickly Murder, Gangster, Life in a... Metro. But big films like Jagga Jasoos require time, and sometimes, external schedules (like Ranbir’s) delay things. I’m not in a rush. I prioritize quality and family.

Why did you take a professional step back when your daughters were young?

Anurag Basu:
My wife and I chose to slow down because we believe you can only influence a child’s personality till 12th grade. Now that our younger daughter has graduated, I plan to release a film every 18 months.

You have portrayed complex women in your films. Why?

Anurag Basu:
I see life through a woman’s lens thanks to my mother, wife Tani, and daughters. They’ve shaped how I understand emotions and relationships. That’s why I naturally gravitate toward stories with strong female perspectives.

How did your TV beginnings with Tara shape you?

Anurag Basu:
Tara was a learning ground. I joined after 100 episodes and being around Vinta Nanda helped me understand adult relationships and nuanced storytelling. It was foundational in shaping my narrative voice.

Will you be speeding up your work now?

Anurag Basu:
Yes. Coming from television, I know how to work fast. With family responsibilities easing up, I’m ready to release a new film every 1.5 years. I’m pacing myself like a long innings in cricket.
