Anurag Kashyap on BV (It is a sure hit!) and also on senior stars. 😆
Read this extract:
His next release, Bombay Velvet, although meant to mimic the noir psychological thrillers of the Forties, is a love story. And will feature his biggest star cast to date. "When I was in New York, I met this extraordinary jazz singer. I followed her around all night, until she gave in and showed me an underground jazz scene that blew my mind. And when we parted the next morning - it was the kind of thing which both of us knew was only for a night - I knew I had to make this film.
"I began reading about jazz in Mumbai and discovered there was a legitimate scene in the Twenties. And I don't just mean expats, there were Anglo-Indians, Goans, Parsis. It was incredible." The film has cost 90 crores, one crore more than the combined budget of all the movies he has ever directed and produced. "This one is a sure hit. It will make money. And once I'm done with it, I can go back to my smaller indies."
And how was it working with big names for the first time? "The younger generation have a good head on their shoulders. The Varun Dhawans, the Ranbir Kapoors. They are willing to experiment. The older lot are too busy playing who's dick is bigger'. They're at war with each other and will self-destruct."
