I’ll Even Do 1-Second Role: Fatima Sana Shaikh On Working With Anurag Basu

MUMBAI: Actress Fatima Sana Shaikh, known for her remarkable performances in Bollywood, is gearing up for her role in Anurag Basu’s upcoming movie ‘Metro In Dino,’ the sequel to the 2007 film ‘Life In a…Metro.’

During a recent interview with India Today, she shared her immense respect for the director and her excitement to be a part of the project.

“My reason for doing the film is only and only Anurag Basu,” she declared passionately.

“For him, I’ll do anything. Even if Daada (Anurag Basu) calls me for a one-second role, I’ll blindly do it. I love him that much. He had called me to narrate the story of ‘Metro In Dino,’ the network was so bad that I couldn’t hear and understand half of the things that he was saying, and I still ended up saying yes. I trust him that much. Like I said, I’ll do anything for him,” she told the daily publication.

Fatima’s collaboration with Anurag Basu isn’t new; they previously worked together on the film ‘Ludo,’ which was released on Netflix. Her faith in his vision and storytelling is evident in her commitment to ‘Metro In Dino.’
