Ranbir Kapoor is understood to be extremely selective on the subject of his projects. Even after the success of Rockstar, Ranbir didn't go on a signing spree and preferred to play the waiting game. Now the young and supremely talented actor has given his nod to be part of Anurag Kashyap's ambitious project Bombay Velvet. The mix of Ranbir and Anurag is indeed quite unconventional and something worth looking forward to.
Bombay Velvet, in keeping with historian Gyan Prakash's Mumbai Fables, is the tale of the way town became a metropolis against the backdrop of love, greed, violence and Jazz music. The film is part of a trilogy that aims at recreating Bombay of the 50s, 60s and 70s.
Anurag was engaged on this project for a very long time now and has written the film in conjunction with Prakash, S.Thanikachalam and Vasan Bala.
Amit Trivedi have been roped in to compose the music for this film in an effort to have a Jazz flavour to it. Bombay Velvet is produced by Viacom 18 Films and is anticipated to move on floors in October this year.
