In upcoming movie Bombay Velvet, the buzz is high that three superstars have been roped in to play various characters.

It has been confirmed that John Abraham will act in the movie along with Aamir Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan.

Touted to be an international epic, the film is stated to be a three-segment drama with Shah Rukh playing the protagonist in the first and John and Aamir starring in the second and the third segments respectively.

The movie is getting big hype because of its two directors on board, Anurag Kashyap and Oscar winner Danny Boyle.
John had earlier worked with Anurag in the film No Smoking which unfortunately didn’t do well at the box office.
Speaking about John starring in Bombay Velvet, Anurag Kashyap had said earlier, “John Abraham has drastically cut his price for my next film Bombay Velvet. So even when I work with stars my project becomes economical.”
He says, “I don’t charge any money as a director until the film makes money. After No Smoking, John and I want to make sure our film is accessible to the audience. Today I realize where I had gone wrong in my earlier cinema.”
He says further, “I’m working on my weak points. I tend to get repetitive. So I’ve got two writers for Bombay Velvet who criticized me the most for No Smoking.”
As per reports, John will play a real-life 1960s hero of the masses. The role requires the actor to completely change his body language and to get rid of his very contemporary body language and mannerisms.

And now, even though John has been confirmed to be a part of the project, the actor was left dumbfounded when a section of the media had reported that Aamir had replaced him.

Confirming the news, a daily quoted a source as saying, “When he heard that Aamir was signed, John was really happy for Anurag. People told John that Aamir had replaced him but John knew the truth. Even if it was true, he’d have been happy for Anurag. However, Anurag would never ever drop John. After 10 years of struggle in the film industry, John was the first hero who took Anurag seriously.”

Being a Danny Boyle- Anurag Kashyap project, Bombay Velvet holds great promise.
