Friday, 26th Dec 2014, 4:06 PM IST Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Bombay Velvet’ which was slated to release in November 2014, has been postponed 15th May 2015. The movie stars Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role, but not many know that the actor was not the first choice for the film. The first choice for the film was Ranbir’s jijaji Saif Ali Khan. Talking about the film, Anurag said, “'Bombay Velvet' was expensive from the beginning. It is the most tight budget film of my career. It is a Rs. 300 crore movie that we have made into Rs. 90 crore. I wanted someone who was not only a good actor but also made it possible for me to raise that kind of money.” “My first choice when I wrote the film in 2006 was Saif Ali Khan. From there it went to Aamir and Hrithik. This film has gone around before landing with Ranbir. We also tried to make it with Ranveer Singh but we could raise only Rs.40 to 50 crore,” the filmmaker added. ‘Bombay Velvet’ also stars Karan Johar, Anushka Sharma and Raveena Tandon.
