When Konkona Sen Sharma Was Reminded Of Irrfan Khan During The Shoot Of Metro..In Dino

NDTV29-05-2025
Mumbai (Maharashtra):
Director Anurag Basu admitted missing late actor Irrfan Khan and shared how actress Konkona 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, Konkona Sen Sharma Sen was paired with Irrfan Khan, the couple which finally gets a happy ending in the movie.
From the original cast, Konkona Sen Sharma 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 died in 2020.
While remembering the late actor, Anurag Basu shared that Konkona Sen 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.

Maalik Worldwide Lifetime Box Office: Rajkummar Rao's actioner ends as a failure with closing business of Rs 33 crore globally

Maalik, which arrived in cinemas on July 11, 2025, starred Rajkummar Rao as the main lead. Directed by Pulkit, the gangster drama couldn't perform at its best in theaters. The movie has finally ended its theatrical run after being crashed amid the Saiyaara wave. Maalik has failed at the box office while grossing Rs 33 crore globally. Maalik earns a lifetime business of Rs 33.25 crore worldwide Co-produced by Kumar Taurani and Jay Shewakramani, Maalik collected Rs 30 crore gross at the Indian box office. The Rajkummar Rao starrer earned Rs 3.25 crore (USD 0.35 crore) overseas. The lifetime business of Pulkit's directorial stood at Rs 33.25 crore in the global markets as it concluded its theatrical run. Particulars Gross Collection of Maalik India Rs 30 crore Overseas Rs 3.25 crore (USD 0.35 crore) Worldwide Rs 33.25 crore Maalik clashed with Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyaan, lost screens to Saiyaara in India Maalik locked horns with two movies during its release, i.e. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyaan and Superman. It also ran parallel to Dino, Jurassic World: Rebirth and F1: The Movie. While Rajkummar Rao's movie had a decent start in India, it later lost screens to Saiyaara, which entered the box office market on July 18, 2025. Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer opened at Rs 21.5 crore on Friday. Pulkit's helmer couldn't recover its production costs either. Also starring Prosenjit Chatterjee, Maalik's failure suggests that it has emerged as a flop at the box office. Rajkummar Rao was previously seen in Bhool Chuk Maaf earlier this year, which performed relatively better than Maalik. What's next for Rajkummar Rao? Pinkvilla exclusively reported that Rajkummar Rao has been roped in for Ujjwal Nikam biopic, which will be directed by Avinash Arun. "The prep-work for Ujjwal Nikam biopic is presently underway, and Rajkummar Rao is expected to undergo intense acting workshops to step into the shoes of a real-life lawyer," revealed a source close to the development.

However, they are adequately indicative of the box-office performance of the films in question.

Saba Pataudi shower love on Ibrahim Ali Khan; his childhood pic wins hearts

Ibrahim Ali Khan has finally made his silver screen debut with 'Sarzameen.' Celebrating this milestone is his family with heartfelt posts on social media platforms. The movie also features Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kajol, and marks the directorial debut of Kayoze Irani. Beyond the film itself, the proud reactions from Ibrahim's loved ones have naturally garnered significant attention. Sara Ali Khan says she's 'So Proud' Sara Ali Khan, Ibrahim's elder sister, took to her social media handle to share her love and pride. The actress posted a picture from the special screening of 'Sarzameen' held on July 24 in Mumbai. Both siblings were seen twinning in stylish black outfits. Sara wrote, 'So proud,' letting the moment speak for itself. Saba Pataudi pens emotional note - So proud of you already Ibrahim's aunt, Saba Pataudi, went a step further and shared a childhood photo of Ibrahim, calling him a good man—like her father, the late cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. In her message, Saba poured her heart out, expressing regret for not being able to attend the premiere but assuring her presence in spirit. 'So proud of you already and always will be. Love you, my nephew,' she wrote. Our verdict As the film is out on OTT, take a look at our official ETimes review which read, "Prithviraj Sukumaran delivers a strong performance as a man torn between duty and family. Kajol brings depth to her role as the mother and handles her character arc with finesse. Ibrahim Ali Khan shows promise, especially in scenes of vulnerability and angst, but his characterisation leaves much to be desired. Sarzameen had all the ingredients for a compelling emotional thriller—an evocative backdrop, a promising premise, and a capable cast. However, a superficial narrative and weak execution turn it into a missed opportunity. Despite a few well-acted moments, the film fails to leave a lasting impact. It's a middling watch at best, and one that can easily be skipped." Dino | Song - Yaad - Encore s

Aditya Roy Kapur: It was fun going back to the studio where I started out as a VJ

Aditya Roy Kapur and the actor as a VJ Long before he made his mark as a film actor, Aditya Roy Kapur began his journey in front of the camera as a popular VJ on Channel V. His laid-back charm and easy screen presence made him a favourite among viewers and set the stage for what would eventually become a successful film career. Years later, while filming a segment of his latest release Metro... In Dino, Aditya found himself standing once again on the very ground where it had all begun — Chandivali Studio in Mumbai. The studio, steeped in Bollywood history, holds a special place in his heart, as it was the hub of his early days as a television host. 'Dada ( Anurag Basu ) loves shooting at Chandivali Studio. It's actually where I started out. My very first job was as a VJ, and we shot everything there. So going back to that studio really brought back memories. It was a nostalgic experience to go back to the studio where I used to shoot as a VJ,' shared the actor.
