BOMBAY VELVET, AAMIR’S NEXT BIGGIE WILL BE BASED IN ’60S

Recall the Anurag Kashyap and Danny Boyle film Bombay Velvet? The project, which stars Aamir Khan, had created a lot of buzz when the first rumours started floating about and is being touted as one of the biggest East-West collaborations. Sources said, “Bombay Velvet is a grand project. The cost of the sets alone of Bombay Velvet is going to cost Rs. 15 to 17 crores because it’s a period film.” On further probing, the source said, “Bombay Velvet is set in the era of 1960 ′s and Danny Boyle wants to make sure that the era re- created should be for real, just like all Hollywood films showcase it and it will take almost a year’s worth of preparations. At the moment, Danny is busy with his success of 127 Hours and will look into the film once he is over with the Oscars.” We also hear that the Twilight Players are also a part of Bombay Velvet. Yes, the trio who gave us an unforgettable performance with their popping and locking dance steps in Anurag Kashyap’s Dev D will be seen together once again. “Yes, the Twilight Players who danced to ‘ Pardesi’ in Dev D are confirmed as a part of Bombay Velvet as of now. Whether they will be acting this time, only Anurag Kashyap will be able to tell,” says the source. Bombay Velvet will surely be the biggest collaboration of Hollywood and Bollywood. But whether Aamir Khan’s banner will back the project is a question that remains unanswered.
