Rajkummar Rao To Star In Anurag Basu's Life In A Metro 2?
Anurag Basu is scouting for lead actors for his upcoming project Life In A Metro 2 and has offered a plum role to Rajkummar Rao. The Newton actor has not given his nod yet.
Anurag
Basu's
directorial
Life
In
A
Metro
was
a
refreshing
change
to
the
audiences
as
it
specifically
covered
the
struggles
of
the
fast-paced
city
life.
The
plot
was
knitted
with
many
stories
showcasing
ambition,
greed,
struggle
and
lonliness
and
it
all
connected
pretty
well
with
the
audiences
making
the
movie
a
hit
at
the
box
office.
After
a
decade,
Anurag
Basu
is
all
set
to
make
the
sequel
Life
In
A
Metro
2
and
is
scouting
for
lead
actors
and
reports
state
that
Rajkummar
Rao
will
be
a
part
of
the
movie.
DNA
quoted
a
source
by
saying
that
Anurag
Basu
is
impressed
with
Rajkummar
Rao's
work
and
is
keen
to
cast
him
in
the
movie.
"Anurag
was
impressed
with
Rajkummar
Rao's
repertoire.
He
was
keen
to
cast
him
and
discussed
the
idea
with
Bhushan.
Both
of
them
met
the
actor
recently
and
offered
him
the
part."
Also,
Rajkummar
has
not
given
his
nod
yet
and
will
take
some
time
to
decide
if
the
dates
will
work
out
as
per
his
schedule.
"The
Newton
actor
has
been
approached
for
the
same
track
that
features
Kareena.
He
has
liked
the
story,
but
is
waiting
to
see
if
his
dates
can
be
worked
out."
The
film-makers
have
contacted
Sidharth
Malhotra
and
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui
as
well,
but
both
the
actors
have
not
given
their
nod
either.
A
source
said
to
DNA,
"The
script
has
been
sent
to
Sidharth
Malhotra,
but
reportedly
he
hasn't
responded.
Along
with
him,
it
has
been
offered
to
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui
as
well."
The
multi-starrer
Life
In
A
Metro
2
was
first
turned
down
by
Arjun
Kapoor,
as
the
dates
were
clashing
with
his
current
movies
and
Anurag
Basu
contacted
Ranbir
Kapoor
to
star
in
the
movie.
Reports
state
that
the
Sanju
actor
has
liked
the
script
but
has
not
given
his
nod
yet.
We'll
have
to
wait
and
watch
if
Ranbir
Kapoor
will
be
a
part
of
the
movie
or
not.
