Rishi Kapoor calls Jagga Jasoos's director ‘Irresponsible’

-Filmfare -Filmfare

Web Desk: Ranbir’s latest movie “Jagga Jasoos” is being faced critic and failure, it performed very poorly at the box office of only INR 45 crore in eight days!

On the account of the movie failure, Ranbir’s father ‘Rishi Kapoor’ lashed at the movie’s director Anurag Basu.

During an interview, Rishi was asked, if he is upset about Jagga Jasoos. He replied, "That's not true. Honestly, 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."

He further added, "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."
