Anurag Kashyap has remained in the limelight ever since he started promoting his latest directorial venture Dobaaraa. From sharing his views on the downfall of Yash Raj Films in recent times to talking about the increasing number of boycott trends, the filmmaker has addressed a number of topics over the last few days.
Now, in his latest interview, Anurag gave his reaction to Ranveer Singh’s revelation of being dropped from Bombay Velvet. During his appearance on Koffee With Karan Season 7, Ranveer said that he was ‘unceremoniously dropped’ from the film helmed by Anurag. It was eventually made with Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma in the lead.
While speaking to Pinkvilla, Anurag said that Bombay Velvet failed due to its high budget and also addressed Ranveer’s ouster from the film.
“Films don’t go as wrong as my choices of budget go. That film should have been made at the budget it was intended at. That didn’t happen and no body is to be blamed except me because I didn’t fight for that enough. We were in a transitional phase and I used to listen to those who call them the experts of the industry. The film was made just like every expert asked it to be made. Every big expert failed collectively. They failed along with me,” Anurag said.
He continued, “After very long, Ranveer Singh revealed that he was also offered the movie and that he was dropped from the project because he would not be able to generate enough money. Interestingly, he is making movies with the very same people from the industry. So it’s not like that. This industry is a weird place.”
Meanwhile, Anurag’s latest venture Dobaaraa starring Taapsee Pannu is slated to release on August 19. It is a remake of a Spanish film named Mirage.
