Filmmaker Karan Johar, known for his glamorous movies, sharp one-liners and sense of humour, is seen in a new avatar in a poster of his acting project “Bombay Velvet.” His villainous look with a shrewd smile and a moustache has got a thumbs up from his friends and colleagues from tinsel town.
In the Anurag Kashyap directorial, Karan plays Kaizad Khambatta, an arch rival of street fighter Johnny Balraj, played by Ranbir Kapoor. Karan said: “As wild as my imagination can be... playing an antagonist in an Anurag Kashyap film was nowhere in my thought radar. Now it’s done and I hope I don’t have to leave the city and hide when it releases.” Bombay Velvet is jointly produced by Phantom Films and Fox Star India, and is set for release May 15.
