Director Anurag Basu, who is awaiting the release of his upcoming film `Metro...In Dino`, has shared his memories of working with the late actor Irrfan, and the late singer KK in ‘Life in a Metro’.
The director spoke with IANS ahead of the release of `Metro...In Dino`, and recollected working with Irrfan, and said that he tried to persuade him a lot after he mixed it up initially during the narration. Anurag said that he is a very bad narrator, and that kind of affected Irrfan’s judgement of the script.
Anurag told IANS, “I had chased Irrfan. When I narrated the story to Irrfan, he thought his role was not very meaty. I`m a very bad narrator. I couldn`t give him confidence that his role is really good. So, I called up Sutapa, and I asked her to please convince him. She eventually convinced him, and when we shot the first scene with him, he was very happy”.
