Anurag Basu To Direct The Sequel Of 'Life In A Metro'

Basu is all set to revive one of his most popular franchises, Life in a... Metro. While everything about the sequel is being kept under wraps for now, reports suggest that Ali Fazal has been brought on board for the film. Anurag Basu has started work on Life in a Metro 2 and has signed Ali Fazal to play one of the lead characters. A source was quoted as saying, "Anurag Basu had been planning to make LIAM2 for a long time, but he got to know the story only during the first COVID-19 lockdown." The source further confirmed the casting of the film saying, "It is an ensemble cast with a mix of familiar and new faces.

“The film is a fresh tale of different characters, each facing different issues and problems in their lives. It’s a sequel but drastically different from the 15-year-old film, which narrated the lives of nine people living in Mumbai and dealt with topics such as extramarital affairs, the sanctity of marriage, commitment phobia, and love," added the source. Keeping the concept of multiple stories connected with each other, Life in a Metro 2 will be produced by T-Series.
