Directed by Anurag Kashyap, the movie is set to release on May 15. Its Bombay Velvet is a romantic thriller set in the 60's and it will see Ranbir pull off several action sequences.

The makers, Phantom Films and Fox Star Studios, had earlier released a teaser image where Ranbir was seen as a cage-fighter. Looks like they are setting up the character of Johnny Balraj, played by Ranbir, as a macho angry young man.


The film revolves around the charcter of Johnny, who desires to be a Big Shot in life and falls head-over-heels in love with Rosie, a singer. Rosie is being played by Anushka Sharma.
