Jasoos didn't fare well at the box office. The
movie received mixed reviews and
eventually bombed at the ticked window. A
few days after the release of Jagga Jasoos,
Ranbir Kapoor's father, actor Rishi Kapoor
slammed the director Anurag Basu in an
interview with a tabloid.
Rishi Kapoor had said in an interview with a
tabloid, "Neetu and I saw the film on
Thursday, only a day ahead of the release.
Till Wednesday, Anurag Basu was still mixing
the film. Can you imagine that? Pritam
[composer] probably delivered the music
only a week before. What can you say? Basu
doesn't take an opinion from anybody.
Today's filmmakers are doing this with
everybody. They don't show their films
before release to take opinions, and treat it
as though they're making a nuclear bomb. I
didn't hate or love the film. I only felt it
needed to be abridged by 20 minutes. But
who is going to give that opinion to them? I
totally agree with Ekta Kapoor when she
threw him out from her film. He had
problems with Rakesh Roshan while
working on Kites(2010). He's such an
irresponsible director that he doesn't
complete the film. It was supposed to
release three times in the past two years,
but it kept getting delayed."
Today, at the trailer of Bhoomi when Ranbir
Kapoor was asked to react on his father's
comments on director Anurag Basu, the
actor said, "If you see my father is a very
emotional man. I think whatever he is
saying was to protect me in somewhere
from where he was coming from. I don't
necessarily agree with that he did that or
what he said. We worked on Jagga
Jasoos for 3 years and we all knew what we
were doing and how it was being made.
sometimes you succeed sometimes you fail.
I don't look at it as failure. I look at it as a
learning. I think it has given me an
experience with Basu. I cannot answer for
somebody else but I don't necessarily agree
with anybody else."
We wonder what Rishi Kapoor has to react
to it!
