The film, Bombay Velvet, is a realisation of filmmaker Anurag Kashyap’s long cherished dream that he has had for the last nine years. Kashyap made this revelation at a recent press conference of the film in Colombo, Sri Lanka, where the first schedule of the film is currently underway. 'This is my biggest film ever and when I was leaving for Sri Lanka, it hit me that my nine-year dream was becoming real,' Kashyap said at the conference.

The ace filmmaker, who calls this film his most commercial ever, says he left no stone unturned to make sure Bombay Velvet is an epic. In fact, the film’s co-producer Vikas Bahl said, 'When we got an idea about the scale of the film, our first worry was to find a place where we could make a film of such a huge scale. We wanted to ensure that we did full justice to Anurag’s dream.'

The film features Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma.
