'Bombay Talkies' comprises of four short stories by filmmakers - Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap, Dibaker Banerjee and Karan Johar.
The song 'Apna Bombay Talkies' will have stars of both the older and younger generation.
The first half of the song has clippings of popular films of many yesteryear celebrities like Prithviraj Kapoor, Nargis Dutt, Sunil Dutt, Madhubala, Waheeda Rehman, Shatrughan Sinha, Amitabh Bachchan, Tanuja, Zeenat Aman, Rishi Kapoor, Hema Malini, Rekha, Praveen Babi, among others.
This part of the song is in black and white. Brief portions of their films have been picked up and collated on VFX. So it seems they are lip-syncing the song - in a sense, a statement issued by the makers here said.
