MUMBAI: The much-awaited film Metro…इन दिनों, directed by Anurag Basu, is the final chapter of his hyperlinked trilogy after ‘Life in a…Metro’ and ‘Ludo’. The film has made waves with its innovative trailer launch, which drew attention for its fresh format and heartfelt performances. Adding to the film’s intrigue is a powerful performance by Pankaj Tripathi, who opens up about filming one of the most unexpected and creatively daring sequences of his career.
In a scene that’s pivotal to the narrative, Tripathi had to shoot in a real town location wearing minimal clothing and running through live crowds. Speaking about the experience, he shared, “It was a great scene, shot in a real location, and I did it for the first time. I was performing in a way where the clothing was minimal, but it was necessary for the role. It wasn’t for sensationalism; it was an important part of the film’s story.”
He further revealed that hidden cameras were used to capture authentic reactions from people around: “That sequence is a turning point. We didn’t even know when the shot started. Some of the crowd reactions captured were genuine. I was a bit nervous, but without this experiment, the storytelling wouldn’t be complete. I even ran for a few days in preparation. I hope it turns out well. You'll see it and let me know.”
