The announcement comes days after there were rumours that the movie, which has faced several delays, might not come out in theatres this year.
“On the contrary to some media reports claiming that Metro In Dino is getting pushed, we confirm the movie is releasing this year in 2025," the team said in a statement.
Metro… In Dino is produced by Bhushan Kumar of T-Series and Anurag Basu Productions Pvt Ltd. Its music is by Pritam, who previously collaborated with Anurag on the films Gangster, Life in a… Metro, Barfi!, Jagga Jasoos, and Ludo.
The film went on-floors in 2022, and shooting concluded this year in March. Anurag had the idea for a long time, but he developed it during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Anurag Basu's other release this year
Anurag also has a film with Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela lined up. The film was speculated as being the third film in the Aashiqui series, which the makers have denied. While the film is yet to get a title, it has a release date in place. The film will be released in theatres for Diwali this year, and its first look was released recently. A slowed version of the song, "Tu hi zindagi hai, tu hi aashiqui hai" is played in the announcement video.
