Watch: Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Karan Johar in the explosive 'Bombay Velvet' trailer

Mumbai: The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here! That’s right after all the anticipation, the makers have finally released the first look trailer of the much awaited ‘Bombay Velvet’.

Set against the backdrop of ambition, love, greed, and jazz – ‘Bombay Velvet’ is the story of one ordinary man who goes against all odds and forges his destiny to become a ‘Big Shot’. Jazz clubs, a passionate love story, a growing metropolis and a phenomenal hunger for a good life. Welcome to the City of Dreams. Welcome to Bombay Velvet.

The ordinary man is essayed by none other than Ranbir Kapoor. Ranbir plays Johnny Balraj in the film and is obsessed about his lady love Rosie played by Anushka and would go to any extreme to have her in his life in this romantic thriller set against the backdrop of the 60s Bombay.

If that doesn’t sound exciting enough we also see director Karan Johar for the first time in a full-fledged role on the big screen. Karan plays the devious, manipulative and cunning Kaizad Khambatta, who doesn't take no for an answer and his way is the only right way for him.

It was also reported that the lead pair will share a total of seven kisses in the thriller. We already got a glimpse of two of those kisses in the trailer itself, along with some other intimate scenes.

Director Anurag Kashyap earlier denied reports that his much-awaited period drama 'Bombay Velvet' had been postponed again. The 42-year-old filmmaker took to Twitter to set the record straight and said the film will release on its scheduled date of May 15.
