The cast of Anurag Kashyap’s much-awaited Bombay Velvet on Monday unveiled the second trailer of the film. Filmmaker Karan Johar, who will be seen in a negative role in the film, said working with Kashyap was a learning experience.
“I think it’s been the best experience of my life being directed by Anurag Kashyap... from a man that we began to hate, which ultimately ended in love. It’s been quite a journey for me. It was like going to film school,” Johar said.
“I also feel Ranbir [Kapoor] co-directed the film with Anurag. I felt I was being directed by both. Ranbir has the makings of a great filmmaker, which is his fall back plan,” Johar told reporters during the trailer launch.
Bombay Velvet features Kapoor and Anushka Sharma among others. The film is slated for release on May 14 in the UAE.
“This film starts in the ‘50s and ‘60s and there were superficial references when it comes to preparation. I feel the technical side of research was difficult. We were transported in the world of the ‘50s when we came on to the sets,” Kapoor said.
