If Ranbir Kapoor looked rugged in the first look of Bombay Velvet released yesterday, he looks nothing less than lethal on the first poster of the film which is out today. (First Look: Ranbir Kapoor as 'Big Shot' Johnny Balraj in Bombay Velvet)
On the poster, there's no sign of the cage fighter that Ranbir plays in the film. Instead, it somewhat explains why the epithet 'Big Shot' is applied to his character Johnny Balraj - dressed in a pin-striped suit that has mafia stamped all over it, a worse-for-wear looking Ranbir is armed with two machine guns.
It would seem that Johnny Balraj is a gangster as well. He's pleased to meet you, by the way. If we're to take the tagline on the poster at face value, Johnny Balraj is neither BadtameezBesharamKahaani
