Overview
- In a new Screen interview, Kashyap says some viewers still claim his 'downfall' began when he collaborated with Karan Johar on the 2015 film.
- Bombay Velvet, a neo‑noir period drama starring Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma, reportedly cost about ₹100–118 crore and earned roughly ₹43 crore worldwide.
- Kashyap recounts the studio’s post‑release finding that audiences were put off by Ranbir Kapoor’s curled hair, which he calls an absurd explanation.
- He says Ranbir Kapoor is unhappy that the film keeps being discussed and has urged him to stop revisiting it.
- The movie featured Johar in his only full‑length acting role and was based on Gyan Prakash’s Mumbai Fables, while Kashyap has since focused on critically praised projects with uneven box‑office returns.
