Rishi Kapoor slams Anurag Basu for ‘Jagga Jasoos’ failure

Rishi said that Basu failed to complete films on time. During an interview with an English daily, Rishi Kapoor also slammed music composer Pritam.

“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? You don’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 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.”

Rishi Kapoor again blamed Basu’s delays for the film not releasing in international markets on time. “It did not release in Singapore because you have to deliver it five days in advance. It did not release in the Gulf on Thursday because it was only delivered to them on Thursday. This is unreasonable and irresponsible.”

“You may be thinking you are making the Taj Mahal, but you are supposed to make it ready on time. Even Pritam delays his submissions. [It was later promoted as] a kids’ film. But, a kids’ film also has to release at the right time, like during the school vacations. At that time too, Anurag Basu wasn’t ready. There’s economics and maths involved. Everything is not just about creativity.”

“You even threw Govinda out of the film. If you don’t want Govinda to work in your film, why did you ask him in the first place?”

‘Jagga Jasoos’ released on 14 July, 2017. In its nine day run, the film has made Rs. 45 crore.

Rishi Kapoor has never been shy of expressing his opinion on issues.

Being a veteran, he feels that the younger generation of directors and actors need to learn discipline and respect at times.
