Sara Ali Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur were recently seen promoting their upcoming film Metro In Dino in a rather unexpected way—by traveling in a Mumbai metro train. While fans were excited to see stars among them, the move also drew criticism online for being more of a gimmick than genuine promotion.
Public surprised as stars take the metro
The lead actors boarded the Mumbai metro as part of a promotional campaign, surprising everyday commuters. Fans were thrilled to spot them up close and rushed to take selfies. Paparazzi cameras and phones from all angles captured Sara and Aditya, who warmly posed with fans throughout the ride.
Internet divided over metro promotion
While some appreciated the gesture, many social media users didn’t hold back their sarcasm. Comments like “Why all this drama if the story is good?” and “All this for promotion and yet the films flop” flooded posts. Some users pointed out how public inconvenience was likely caused at metro stations just to shoot a few promotional clips.
One user wrote, “If they focused on story instead of stunts, maybe films would actually succeed.” Another commented, “Suddenly they remember the metro exists when it’s time to promote their movie.”
Cast also appeared on The Kapil Sharma Show
Along with this metro ride, the entire cast recently appeared on The Kapil Sharma Show as part of the film’s promotional campaign. The promotional blitz hints at the makers’ hopes for the film to reach wide audiences before its July 4 theatrical release.
A strong star cast brings variety to the film
Directed by Anurag Basu, Metro In Dino is a spiritual sequel to the 2007 film Life in a… Metro. The film is a romantic drama that tells love stories from various age groups and walks of life. Besides Sara and Aditya, the cast includes Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Ali Fazal.
One of the highlights is the on-screen chemistry between Pankaj Tripathi and Konkona Sen Sharma, a pairing that has caught the audience’s attention since the trailer release.

The trailer promises a story filled with love, heartbreak, and passion, but only time will tell whether the film lives up to its expectations. Audiences will get their answer when Metro In Dino hits theaters this Friday.
