The forthcoming attraction directed by Anurag Kashyap , ' Bombay Velvet ' had a huge chunk of its shoot at Ranminithenna Mahinda Rajapeksa National Tele Cinema Park in Sri Lanka, which is developed in the year 2010 in order to promote local film industry. Apparently, it became the first Indian movie to be filmed there. Going by the news update, the director Anurag Kashyap will arrange a special screening of ' Bombay Velvet ' for Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapeksa.

' Bombay Velvet ' storyline required the set of Mumbai of 1950's and 60's. The set was erected in Sri Lanka, as it could have proved costly to build the entire set in Mumbai, as stated by Kashyap.

A 4-acre plot of land was allotted to the shooting of the film, as per the report.
