Last Updated:
Neena Gupta shares her experience working with Anurag Basu in Metro… In Dino, praising his unpredictable directing style. The film releases on July 4, 2025.
Neena Gupta is all set to be seen in Metro… In Dino, her first collaboration with director Anurag Basu. Sharing her experience of working with the maverick filmmaker, Neena recalled an amusing moment from set when she was all ready for her shot… only to be sent back to her van!
In a chat with IANS ahead of the film's release, Neena spoke about how unpredictable, in the best way, Anurag Basu can be when he's in his creative zone. 'Once we came on the set for shoot as the production team called us on the set. We were told to go back in the van, and that it will take some time. So I saw Dada in the hall where the shoot was going on. He went in a corner. And he sat there somewhere. So I asked, 'What happened to Dada?' The assistant said, 'He wants to think' So suddenly he wanted to think about something (laughs)," she recalled.
Neena also shared how Basu doesn't stick rigidly to the script and loves to play with scenes on the go. That spontaneity, she said, makes the process even more exciting.
'So, while we were given the lines and we remembered them and then we were saying and one or two takes were done, suddenly he would say, 'Neena, do it differently. How about you do it this way or that way?'. And I was like, 'Oh man, this is a very good idea, why didn't I think of this?'," she said, laughing.
She added, 'I had a lot of dreams come true when he called me for the film. I said, 'I don't want to hear anything, I don't want to do anything, I'll just work with you', it's like that. So, it's great fun working with him also."
Metro… In Dino is presented by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series, in association with Anurag Basu Productions Pvt. Ltd. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Anurag Basu, and Taani Basu, the film is scheduled for release on July 4, 2025.

Bollywood actor Vikrant Massey has revealed that despite his success, there are still people in the film industry who make him feel lesser. Bollywood actor Vikrant Massey has revealed that despite his success, there are still people in the film industry who make him feel lesser. In a recent interaction with IANS, he also admitted that many don't like him as an actor but added that their doubts only fuel his determination to keep proving himself. When asked if any star kids ever made him feel less important during his struggling days, Massey clarified that it wasn't about star kids specifically, but about certain individuals in the industry who tried to make him feel small. The '12th Fail' actor shared, "No, it's not about a star kid. It's about the kind of people who make you feel small. We shouldn't generalize it. There are many people who, from time to time, try to make you feel lesser-and they still do. Even today? Yes, even today. There are many who do that. But I believe such people are necessary." "They help keep the fire inside you burning. I actually think we need people like that-those who challenge you, who look down on you. They still exist, and I'm thankful for their presence. There are a lot of people who don't like me as an actor. I know that. I won't name them, but they give me the drive to keep going." When asked if it affects him mentally, Vikrant Massey responded that it doesn't disturb him at all. In fact, he said such negativity fuels his motivation and drives him to do better. "Not at all. In fact, it works in my favor. There are so many who think, 'Oh, he's not a good actor.' Some even believe I'm overrated. So, when my film does well, it feels good-I prove them wrong. That's what keeps me going." The 'Gaslight' actor went on to mention, "That's the driving force for me. That feeling stays with you-it's very important. They help keep that inner fire alive. So really, it depends on the person. It's not about being a star kid or not. Not at all. If we're talking about star kids, most of them have actually been very nice to me." Work-wise, Vikrant Massey is gearing up for the release of his film 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' alongside Shanaya Kapoor . Helmed by Santosh Singh , the romantic drama is slated for a theatrical release on July 11.
