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.”Shot in real location with peopleWhat makes the scene even more interesting is that it was filmed in a real location, in front of real people. To capture honest reactions from the public, the crew used hidden cameras. This helped make the scene feel natural and more realistic.

I was a bit nervous, but without this experiment, the storytelling wouldn’t be complete. I even ran for a few days in preparation.”‘Metro… In Dino’‘Metro… In Dino’ is a spiritual sequel to Anurag Basu’s 2007 hit ‘Life In A Metro’.
