Ranveer is seen riding an Ariel bike in the film set in 1950s Kolkata. These bikes have stopped manufacturing and only a few of them are left in the country.
"Ranveer fell in love with the vintage motorcycle and he wanted it, so it was gifted to him," Motwane said in a statement.
It is the second film directed by Motwane, after his critically acclaimed debut film 'Udaan'.
'Lootera', a love story, also stars Sonakshi Sinha and is scheduled to release on July 5.
