Bombay Velvet hasn’t even released yet and Bollywood is going gaga over it’s exemplarity. From Rishi Kapoor to Arjun Kapoor, it has garnered appreciation from many stars.
Seems like this movie is going to be one masterpiece. But for now, let us tell you something you probably didn’t know before.
Anurag Kashyap had actually written the script for BV over 10 years ago and decided to cast Saif Ali Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor and Aamir Khan. The director recently revealed that at the time, he wasn’t an accomplished director so that’s probably why actors didn’t pay much heed to his scripts. He said that Saif refused to read the script, that’s when Aamir was roped in. And although Hrithik took the script, he didn’t read it for another 2 years; while Kareena only ‘considered’ reading it.
But as fate would have it, even though Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma were no where close to the movie scene 10 years ago, seems like the script was made just for them – because they’re both certainly rocking it!
I wonder how the movie would turn out had it been made a decade ago…! What do you guys think?
