You mean this quote :

"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" - -Anurag Kashyap. 😆

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.
huh😕

"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."😲yikes

Yup, Ranveer was a nobody at the time so he could have been dumped easily. Only thing is Ranveer's RL had more budget than 40-50 crores when SLB took him on. At that time BV didn't even start filming.

I get it AK got bad treatment from the older stars especially Hrithik ignoring his script for 3 years 😆 but that doesn't mean he treat the newer lot as if oh he not a big star so I can dump him while not actually telling him directly and let him find out from the papers instead.

But I am glad Ranveer didn't do this film because AK is a pretentious with what he wanted to do with this film.

Sorry but overconfidence does this to you Anurag. He could have done the movie with 50 cr and maybe it would have worked better. Because this big budget made him blind.

The date of posting this interview on GQ website is 14th May.

I think he must have given this interview around last week of April perhaps?

Oh... Wow he was definitely overconfident then. The promos got a thanda response and the budget was huge so not sure why he'd claim it was a sureshot hit. 😕

Of course now his every statement would be laughed at because his movie flopped but he is right about older stars.
