Kareena Was the First Choice For Bombay Velvet : Anurag Kashyap - Page 3

Also she was meant to do Mr Mehta and Mrs Singh with Aamir around then. 

Kat was still new then

"Bombay Velvet was expensive from the beginning. It is the most tight budget film of my career. It is a Rs 300 crore movie that we have made into Rs 90 crore. I wanted someone who was not only a good actor but also made it possible for me to raise that kind of money," Mr Kashyap told PTI.

"My first choice when I wrote the film in 2006 was Saif Ali Khan. From there it went to Aamir and Hrithik. This film has gone around before landing with Ranbir. We also tried to make it with Ranveer Singh but we could raise only Rs 40 to 50 crore," he added.

So RK lonely lobbied for it. Yet this forum shames any actresses who may lobby for roles.
