Guess the failure of ‘Bombay Velvet’ hit Anurag Kashyap hard. It’s been months since the film was released and flopped at the box office and the film’s director, Anurag has yet to get over its failure. We don’t know whether Anurag is shocked at the way ‘Bombay Velvet’ performed at the box office or he’s guilty of presenting a bad film to the audience. Whatever it is, it seems Anurag is not letting it go. He has now announced that he’s planning to return the money that the production company lost with this film. ‘Bombay Velvet’ was produced by Phantom Films and Fox Star Studios. We don’t know how Anurag will manage to pay the money back as it’s a huge sum that the production houses lost. Here’s what Anurag has to say about it.
Anurag on returning the money invested in ‘Bombay Velvet’
My own partner told me that I had made a Rs 90-crore art film and a lot of people had issues with that. I have to live with the burden of losing all that money for the rest of my life. That gives me nightmares. We are beginning with a sum of Rs 10 crore and hope to repay most of the money by the year-end.
