Filmmaker Karan Johar, who is making his full-fledged acting debut with Anurag Kashyap's "Bombay Velvet", has thanked him for making his late father Yash Johar's wish come true.

"My father thought I should be an actor...I didn't. Thank you Anurag Kashyap for fulfilling my dad's wish... just wrapped 'Bombay Velvet'!"

In "Bombay Velvet", which also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma, Karan plays a villain. The movie, co-produced by Fox Star Studios and Phantom Films, will see Karan in the role of a rich businessman who plays a crucial role in the life of Ranbir's on-screen character.

In the past, Karan has made fleeting appearances in films like "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge", "Fashion" and "Luck By Chance".
