The latest buzz making way from well-placed sources in B-town says that Phantom Films, producers of Anurag Kashyap's Bombay Velvet, have filed a complaint with the Versova police in Mumbai against one Varun Gupta for duping aspiring actors as the casting director of the film.

Buzz says that the accused Gupta was sending messages to girls of small towns, inviting them to send their portfolios for the casting of the second female lead in the film. He circulated a message saying, an audition was to be held in Delhi on September 10 and in Mumbai on September 16 for the same.

However, the issue came to light only when casting director of the film, Mukesh Chabbra was intimated by some of his friends from the industry that Gupta was sending messages saying that they were looking for the second female lead for the film to star opposite Anil Kapoor's son, Harshvardhan.

Confirming the action, Anurag Kashyap said that he had lodged a complaint against Varun who was deceiving people by sending these messages. "Even the name of Harshvardhan Kapoor as the second male lead is false, since he is assisting me in the film rather than acting in it. As far as the film is concerned, we have decided on Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma as the main lead," says Anurag.

Really appreciate your decision Anurag! Well done, such creeps need to be punished!
