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”.
