Neena Gupta Was Asked To Return To Her Van During Metro... In Dino Shoot
Last Updated:
Neena Gupta shares her experience working with Anurag Basu in Metro… In Dino, praising his unpredictable directing style. The film releases on July 4, 2025.
Neena Gupta is all set to be seen in Metro… In Dino, her first collaboration with director Anurag Basu. Sharing her experience of working with the maverick filmmaker, Neena recalled an amusing moment from set when she was all ready for her shot… only to be sent back to her van!
In a chat with IANS ahead of the film's release, Neena spoke about how unpredictable, in the best way, Anurag Basu can be when he's in his creative zone. 'Once we came on the set for shoot as the production team called us on the set. We were told to go back in the van, and that it will take some time. So I saw Dada in the hall where the shoot was going on. He went in a corner. And he sat there somewhere. So I asked, 'What happened to Dada?' The assistant said, 'He wants to think' So suddenly he wanted to think about something (laughs)," she recalled.
Neena also shared how Basu doesn't stick rigidly to the script and loves to play with scenes on the go. That spontaneity, she said, makes the process even more exciting.
'So, while we were given the lines and we remembered them and then we were saying and one or two takes were done, suddenly he would say, 'Neena, do it differently. How about you do it this way or that way?'. And I was like, 'Oh man, this is a very good idea, why didn't I think of this?'," she said, laughing.
She added, 'I had a lot of dreams come true when he called me for the film. I said, 'I don't want to hear anything, I don't want to do anything, I'll just work with you', it's like that. So, it's great fun working with him also."
Metro… In Dino is presented by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series, in association with Anurag Basu Productions Pvt. Ltd. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Anurag Basu, and Taani Basu, the film is scheduled for release on July 4, 2025.

Ranthambore Tigress Arrowhead Dies At 14. Watch Her Last Walk
Last Updated: A heartfelt Instagram post by a wildlife photographer featured a video capturing the final walk of Arrowhead, the beloved tigress of Ranthambore. Arrowhead, the tigress who once dominated the core of Rajasthan's Ranthambore, has passed away at the age of 14. A touching video shared by a wildlife photographer captures her final moments, offering a glimpse into her last few hours. According to NDTV, Tigress Arrowhead (T-84), a favourite among wildlife enthusiasts and Ranthambore visitors, died earlier this week. Her death occurred just hours after her daughter was moved to another tiger reserve. The news of Arrowhead's death has deeply saddened wildlife photographers, forest staff, and frequent safari visitors. One of them, nature photographer Sachin Rai, had been following her story since she was a cub. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Rai shared a video of what he described as her 'last walk," recorded near Padam Talab on June 17. In his post, Rai recalled witnessing Arrowhead's final moments on the evening of June 17. 'On the evening of June 17th, I witnessed what would likely be the last walk of the legendary tigress Arrowhead. It was heartbreaking to see her struggle, attempting to rise and take a few feeble steps before collapsing again," he wrote in his lengthy post. He described how Arrowhead, weakened by illness, moved with great difficulty, barely managing a few steps before resting beneath a tree. 'Each movement was a visible effort. In that quiet moment, I knew in my heart that the end was near," he added. But Rai's tribute extended beyond those last moments. He looked back on her remarkable journey—from a young cub to a dominant tigress who once claimed the very lands her mother ruled. 'I have followed Arrowhead's journey since she was a tiny cub. From those early days to watching her grow into a powerful tigress, every chapter of her life was a testament to resilience," he also explained. Posted on June 19, the video has garnered over 6.3 million views, drawing an outpouring of love and grief from social media users who were moved by Arrowhead's final moments. A user said, 'Heartbreaking to see a tiger like this." Another wrote, 'So graceful and resilient. Even in these last few moments. A symbol of strength." 'A wonderful legacy, but my heart breaks to see this queen in pain. She is now at peace," a user wrote on Instagram. 'May the queen find the eternal rest she deserves," an individual commented. Who was Arrowhead? Arrowhead came from Ranthambore's famed tiger lineage, being the daughter of Krishna (T-19) and the granddaughter of the iconic tigress Machhli (T-16). Known to many as the 'Queen of Ranthambore', she held a special place in the hearts of wildlife lovers. Forest officials reportedly revealed that she had been suffering from advanced bone cancer and was being closely monitored during her final weeks.

It is like meditation; it is a great stress reliever and promotes positive inflow, which I really enjoy. That's the main reason I do Iyengar yoga; the physical benefits are secondary" and continues, 'Today there is one form of yoga which I call the fashion yoga. They play loud music and do yoga. That is not the real practice. The real practice is going within yourself. One shouldn't do yoga with loud music and mirrors around as it distracts the senses. For me, Iyengar yoga works the best."
