It's Indiana Jones meets Tintin

Ranbir Kapoor reveals exclusive details of his next release with girlfriend Katrina Kaif

Nayandeep Rakshit

Ranbir Kapoor has faced the brickbats for his last few failures, but Tamasha has put him right back in the game. The actor, who is receiving accolades for his latest Imtiaz Ali flick is ecstatic. And he has already moved on to his next " Jagga Jasoos, directed by Anurag Basu. Ask him about the film's delay and he smiles. "It's one film I've grown old with." In an exclusive chat, Ranbir gives us an insight into the world Basu is creating with JJ!

A new genre

"With Jagga Jasoos, Anurag Basu is trying to bring in a new genre of films to Bollywood. And it's very interesting for me as an actor to play a young detective who stammers and is on his way to find his stepfather. It's on the landscape of an adventure film like Indiana Jones or Tintin," Ranbir told us.

15 gaane!

RK reveals, "My character stammers throughout the film. The only time he doesn't stammer is when he sings. So it has been a really challenging role for me. There are more than 15 songs in the film. It's a musical so each scene is a song."

It's chaotic

"Working with Anurag Basu is a mess. It's chaotic. There's no script, no fixed pattern. I have been shooting for Jagga Jasoos for almost two years now. But there's mad genius in him which I recognise and I trust him for that."

Series? Yes!

"Yes, definitely the endeavour is to make it into a series. But for that, the first film needs to be successful. As of now, we are releasing Jagga Jasoos sometime in June 2016."

Improvisations galore

"Working with Anurag involves a lot of creative improvisations. It's something my grandfather Raj Kapoor used to do a lot in his films. There are advantages and disadvantages to it. The advantage is that the process is very organic and you don't have pre-conceived notions when you come on to the shoot. The disadvantage is that you are going in it blind. Like when I did Barfi, during the whole film, Priyanka and I would reach the sets and Dada would tell us what scene we are shooting. So during the entire film, Priyanka and I had no clue of what we were doing, but when we eventually saw the film, we realised that okay, it has turned out to be like this. You have to trust the director because he's the one taking all the pressure. It's also very scary because I could have a film like Bombay Velvet, where one improvises and you see a result like this. Then you are like, Oh sh*t! I should have taken control. Of course it wasn't shot like that and it was done with a lot of control, but I am just giving an example."

He needs to stop comparing his movies to classics... he's raising expectations too much and every time it's hurting him...

Wow! Tintin! ⭐️ We all LOVE Tintin comics! And Indiana Jones too! This sounds really COOL! 😃

Hes not comparing JJ to Tintin or Indiana Jones, hes saying its along those lines, like a swashbuckling, boyish adventure story.
RK shd not compare BV to JJ...Anurag Basu knows his stuff, hes a mad genius, not a wannabe idiot like Anurag Kashyap trying to make a Hollywood Film noire with a horrible script! 😆

JJ hero sings to avoid stammering...😆 That is 100% true, often people who stammer dont do so when they sing...so all the dialogues will be in song form too like in Broadway musicals? 😛

I'm sorry, but the entire premise of this movie, plus the casting and all of the delays, sounds like a complete train wreck.😕

This film will release in June 2016 .. 7 months to go and I believe they still have some shooting left to do. Why is he talking about the movie already? Isn't it too early to start the promotions?
Let's see if Katrina will continue to prove to be his good luck charm .. DP lost it with tamasha .. kattu might still continue (after APKGK and Rajneeti) ..
waise I doubt it has anything to do with luck .. his films probably don't work anymore because there aren't that many people interested in his work anymore .. who knows .. i can only speculate
