This is why 'Bombay Velvet' still hurts Anurag Kashyap

Anurag Kashyap‘s ‘Bombay Velvet’ failed miserably at the box-office and even after a year, the thought of the film still haunts the talented director, who had worked extremely hard on the movie.

In a conversation with a leading daily, the director revealed, “When I hear studios shutting, I somewhere feel that I’m definitely one of the reasons behind it. When the stories come up and there’s Bombay Velvet’s poster right at the top of the article, it does hurt.”

The movie starred Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role and only added to his line of not-so-successful films. Anurag claimed that he feels extremely bad about it and thinks that it was he who made his fail. “I think, we as a team, let him down in many ways. Ranbir is a fantastic artist, a brilliant human being and an actor who wanted to try out something different. He wanted to experiment which not many stars would want to. And we failed him terribly. I feel completely responsible for this,” said Anurag.
