Ranbir Kapoor.
Ranbir Kapoor, who has been toying with the idea of producing a film for a while, has taken a small but significant step in the direction. The actor, who is gearing up for Anurag Kashyap-headed Phantom Productions' most ambitious project, Bombay Velvet, has agreed to come on broad as a co-producer.
When contacted Ranbir said:"Innovative content excites me and I believe the Phantom team is a pioneer at it. This seems to be the perfect time in my career to take up bigger ownership of a film and be a producer. "
A source close to the development elaborated: "Anurag had several meetings with the presenters of the film, Viacom 18. The film has an epic canvas, with a budget of approximately 95 crores. Ranbir was not a part of the proposal at that time, since the casting was far from final."
For a while Ranbir was not even sure if he would play the lead in the film, as there was a toss up between the projects of Anurag, Abhinavand several other scripts in the interim. While Abhinav's Besharm is already underway, where the actor has agreed to a profit-share model with the producers, the decision to coproduce Bombay Velvet was taken recently.
