A star studded song launch event was about to take place at a suburban hotel this Monday. The film in question was Anurag Kashyap's Bombay Velvet and the song we are referring to is the new song from BV- Mohabbat Buri Beemari. But the event was called off, after much discussion.
Here's the inside scoop on what happened. The film has been in news repeatedly for all the wrong reasons. After reports of re-shoots and delays plagued the film's pace, the first theatrical trailer has not gone down well with the film's leading heroine Anushka Sharma. The actress has not come out for any of the promotional schedules for Bombay Velvet and it's evident that the actress is upset with the makers.
"Anushka has just delivered a huge hit purely on her own accord. Bombay Velvet has her in an important role but the makers have highlighted more on Ranbir's character with sneak peek into Anushka's character here and there. Even the Fifi song, which is picturised on Anushka has more of Ranbir. The actress is really not taking it lightly anymore," revealed an industry insider close to the actress.
Also, the actress has been spotted cheering her guts out for beau Virat Kohli at all the IPL matches. Is Anushka preferring spending time with Virat over work? "Anushka faced a lot of criticism for her appearance at the World Cup. It was absolutely unnecessary and uncalled for. Anushka wants to stand by Virat during IPL and has decided to be there at all the matches RCB plays this IPL," the source told us.
Recently, there were reports that the director had edited out five songs from Bombay Velvet, which mostly featured the actress and few of her scenes have also been chopped. That, too has upsetted Anushka. One wonders if that's the reason why she decided to not give her dates for the song launch! Now, you can do the math.
