Actor Ali Fazal has been preparing for his role in the upcoming film Metro… In Dino, directed by Anurag Basu, by learning to play the guitar. Although he briefly portrayed a guitarist in his debut film 3 Idiots, Fazal took a fresh approach this time, training under a professional guitarist for over a month to bring realism to his performance as a musician.
Ali Fazal on learning guitar for over a month for Metro… In Dino; says, “I wanted to make sure that every time I played on screen, it felt honest”
Speaking about the experience, Ali Fazal shared, “Playing a musician is not just about holding a guitar and pretending to strum, sometimes yes, it is. But sometimes it’s all real. I believe that authenticity is everything, especially in a film like Metro… In Dino, where the story is deeply rooted in human emotions and music is a part of the character’s soul. When I played a guitarist in 3 Idiots, it was just a cameo—more of a fun, quick moment. But this time, my character is a musician at the core, and that comes with a responsibility to do justice to the role. There were chords I could play, chords I couldn’t play. But it’s Basu Da frame. So you have to make sure you give it your all.”
Ali added, “I spent over a month taking lessons with a professional guitarist, not just to learn chords but to understand the instrument, the body language, the relationship between a musician and his guitar. It’s not easy; your fingers hurt, and it takes real dedication. But I wanted to make sure that every time I played on screen, it felt honest—not just to me but to the audience.”
Ali further added, “Anurag Basu’s stories are always layered, and I felt that if I didn’t dive deep into this part, it would be a disservice to the character and to the film. I’ve always believed that music is a universal language—it connects us in ways that words sometimes can’t. That’s what I wanted to capture. I hope audiences can feel the effort and love I’ve poured into this role.”
Metro… In Dino is slated for a July 4th release, and Ali’s preparation is sure to add a memorable layer to this much-anticipated project.
