Anurag Basu’s Life In A Metro that released in 2007 not only received critical acclaim but also garnered good collections at the box office. The film had four different stories set in the city and each told a very poignant and important tale of human relationships. Now, eleven years later the director is back with a sequel to the film and is likely to produce it under his own banner.
It was highly anticipated whether Kangana Ranaut who starred in the first film will be appearing in the sequel or not. However, now a leading daily reported that Anurag has roped in Ki and Ka actors Kareena Kapoor Khan and Arjun Kapoor for the film. The daily reported, “Kareena Kapoor Khan will reportedly feature in one of the stories and Arjun Kapoor will also be a part of one of the other plots. Their tracks are not connected is what we hear.”
