Anurag Basu says his next film with Abhishek Bachchan and Rajkummmar Rao is not a sequel to his 2007 romantic-drama "Life In A...Metro". The film, described as a dark comic anthology, will also feature Aditya Roy Kapur, Sanya Malhotra and Fatima Sana Shaikh.

Basu says other than the fact that the film will have four intersecting stories like "Life In A...Metro", the new project is entirely different. "The genre is different. 'Life...' had drama, love story and it revolved around multiple stories about relationships. This is not that. This film has bit of crime and black humour in it. "The only common thing is all four stories are intersecting and affecting each other. I don't want to confuse the audience and call it as a sequel to 'Life..'," Basu told PTI.
