Bombay Velvet is by far going to be the most expensive film that director Anurag Kashyap has made. The film which travels through over two decades showcases Bombay through 50s, 60s and 70s.
The film has been shot in Sri Lanka. Painstaking effort has gone into creating the Bombay of yore. It has now been learnt that more than 200 vintage cars have been used in this Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma starrer.
Using more than 200 vintage cars in a film is rather unusual and could have proved to be difficult for the person helming the production design of the film. Luckily, since the film has been extensively shot in Sri Lanka, it was as difficult to procure vintage cars in that country. Sri Lanka has a huge number of vintage cars which are still in great and running condition.
The film's period look will have a lot of British influence right from the costumes to night club settings the film will unravel.
Bombay Velvet is expected to release on November 28.
Jodha Akbar
