Anurag Kashyap's Bombay Velvet has been making fans curious.
A huge budget film, shot in Sri Lanka, the makers have done every bit to recreate the Bombay of the 1950s - 1970s. According to reports, it costed Rs. 22 crores to make the sets. Now we hear, over 200 vintage cars have been used in the film, to give it the pre-metropolis look. It was pretty hard for them to procure the cars, though Sri Lanka has a huge number of them, well-maintained and in working condition.
Based on historian Gyan Prakash's book Mumbai Fables, the film is about jazz clubs, a passionate love story, a growing metropolis and a phenomenal hunger for a good life. Featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma in the lead, the film hits screens on November 28.
