“PK & Bombay Velvet releasing together will be tough” – Anurag : Bollywood News

"It was kind of shocking when PK was announced for the same day as Bombay Velvet," said Anurag Kashyap in a Bollywood Hungama exclusive interview with Faridoon Shahryar at the spectacular sets of Bombay Velvet in Tissamaharama in Sri Lanka. "We all admire Raju and Aamir a lot. Raju is one singular filmmaker everyone loves. They are all friends. When we heard of the stories that they are coming on the same day, I asked, please let us know, Raju said it hasn't been decided yet. Three days later Aamir announced on twitter. It came as a shock". Did you speak to them? "I expressed my thoughts to them on a personal level. All they had to do was pick up the phone. Now we don't have an option. We can't prepone the release date," Anurag said.

“PK & Bombay Velvet releasing together will be tough” – Anurag

It has been seen in the past in the recent times that whenever two big films release on the same day, they tend to eat into each other's business. The case in point is Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Son of Sardar when the cinema screens had to be divided between the two big films releasing in Diwali which affected the final Box Office outcome of both the films. "A big film occupies a lot of theatres. PK and Bombay Velvet coming together will be tough. Obviously two big films coming together will affect both the films. Right now I'm not thinking of all these things because then I can't make the film," Anurag said.

Anurag also disclosed interesting information about the film when pointed out at a ravishing picture of Raveena Tandon on the sets of Bombay Velvet in Tissamaharama. "Raveena Tandon is playing a singer in the film. She is not doing an item song. Even though it's a special role but she has two three songs in the film," Anurag revealed.
