Ranbir Kapoor-Anushka Sharma starrer 'Bombay Velvet' in trouble again?

Anurag Kashyap’s Bombay Velvet starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Karan Johar has been in the news for the longest but for all the wrong reasons. Though the Ugly director has time and again rubbished all the rumours floating in the media about his film, somehow they just don’t seem to die. As per a leading tabloid, Ranbir-Anushka starrer is facing monetary woes as Fox Star Studios, co-producers of the film, aren’t willing to release the last installment of funds. While talking to the tabloid a source said, “Since the film has overshot its original budget of Rs 96 crore, Fox has said that the last installment of Rs 8-9 crore would be released only if the film breaks even.”

Another source told the same tabloid, “There were a few portions which lead actor Ranbir Kapoor felt needed to be re-shot, but they had to make do with some amount of patchwork as the budget had crossed Rs 130 crore. The VFX was turning out to be very expensive.”

But as always, when the tabloid contacted Kashyap, the talented filmmaker denied all these reports. He said, “Fox has not said any such thing. Whoever is spreading these negative stories about Bombay Velvet has probably run out of stories and probably had to invent a fresh one.” Anurag even maintained that its normal for the production houses to release the last 10 percent of the funds during the delivery time.

Guess rumours about Bombay Velvet will keep doing the rounds till the film actually hits the screen which is May 15. So till then get used to hearing all kinds of gossip about BV.
