Filmmaker Karan Johar, who is making his full-fledged acting debut with Anurag Kashyap's "Bombay Velvet", has thanked him for making his late father Yash Johar's wish come true.

"My father thought I should be an actor...I didn't. Thank you Anurag Kashyap for fulfilling my dad's wish...just wrapped 'Bombay Velvet'!" In "Bombay Velvet", which also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma, Karan plays a villain. The movie, co-produced by Fox Star Studios and Phantom Films, will see Karan in the role of a rich businessman who plays a crucial role in the life of Ranbir's on-screen character.


In the past, Karan has made fleeting appearances in films like "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge", "Fashion" and "Luck By Chance".
