Rishi-KapoorRishi Kapoor is not new to the world of controversies. His outright and frank nature on Twitter has gotten him into serious trouble on more than a few occasions.

The recent one being Rishi Kapoor’s statement on directors Anurag Kashyap and Anurag Basu for ‘Bombay Velvet’ and ‘Jagga Jasoos’ respectively made at Neha Dhupia’s audio-chat show ‘No Filter With Neha’. Both these ‘big-budgeted’ films featured Rishi’s son and nation’s heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor. Alas, both left audiences dejected and were a major let-down at the box-office.

On the show, the senior Kapoor was asked to speak about a topic for a minute, and it was any Anurag in his life!

Rishi Kapoor answered with spontaneity, “There is Anurag Kashyap, who made ‘Bombay Velvet’, but he made a better film in ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’. I couldn’t understand head or tale about ‘Bombay Velvet’.”

Talking about director Anurag Basu, who directed ‘Jagga Jasoos,’ his son Ranbir’s maiden production venture; Rishi Kapoor lashed out at him when the film tanked.

On Neha Dhupia’s show, he continued his ‘Anurag’ topic and said, “And then there was Basu (Anurag Basu), who made ‘Barfi’ an outstanding film. I am so happy he took my son for it. My son got great recognition for it, and then he made this ‘Gajja’ Jasoos… what ‘Jagga Jasoos’ whatever… which he made a total mess of. It was as messy as my pronunciation.”

“He probably got indulged too much. I guess both the ‘Anurags’ got indulged in their films. You know when they are good enough to work on a certain budget and suddenly they are given huge budgets in hand so ‘bandar ke haath mein khilona nahin aa jaata hai,’ he goes absolutely berserk. So I think that’s what actually happened with both these guys. They were given budgets they could not handle and I guess it happens. It happens with every director, every actor you can’t have a hundred percent record anyway…So it happens,” concluded the unfiltered audio by Rishi Kapoor.

Wonder what the Anurags have to say about it?

Hrithik-AnandThere has been much conjecture over Hrithik Roshan’s next — from the look of things, it seems the actor will soon start Vikas Bahl’s biopic on Super 30 genius, Anand Kumar. Given his streak for perfection, it’s not surprising that Roshan has been having several meetings with the math wizard — a picture from one of their meetings even went viral.

In fact, Kumar reveals that he has been overseeing the script, right from its inception.

“Both Hrithik and Vikas have kept me in the loop. They want to make the story as authentic as possible. They have taken a lot of research material from me. Vikas has promised that I will be consulted at every point during the research and writing process. I’m satisfied with the way it’s shaping up,” he says.

While he has had several takers for his biopic, Kumar is certain that Roshan is the best choice to bring his story on screen. “I understand that Hrithik cannot look like me, but that is not the point of the film. He wants to embrace the spirit of my story,” he says, adding that the actor will undergo a few months’ training before the project goes on floors.

Talking about being the subject of a Bollywood film, he says, “I was skeptical about giving out my story to anyone, but Vikas really convinced me. I could see their drive at creating something unique.”

One might suspect that his skepticism was a case of once bitten, twice shy – Anurag Basu had committed to make a film based on him, only to back out without even informing him. Reflecting on it, Kumar says, “I was hurt, but it has worked out for the best. I’m hopeful that this team will do more justice. I wanted my story to go in the right hands.”

ranbir_sanjayActor Ranbir Kapoor, who was present at Sanjay Dutt’s ‘Bhoomi’ trailer launch, revealed that he had approached the star for a guest appearance in his first production venture – ‘Jagga Jasoos’. Speaking at the event, Ranbir said, “I think every role written in the film industry goes to him first. It passes through him and then it filters down. It was my first production. It was a special appearance and we wanted to carry it in the second part. Anurag Basu (director) and I thought there was nobody better than Sanju sir to play the part.”

He further added, “The first time he (Dutt) heard it, he gladly agreed to do it. But there were some issues with the release of his first film. So, I thought may be the next time.”

Nonetheless, Nawazuddin Siddiqui gladly stepped in to play the part in the musical which also starred Katrina Kaif in the leading role.
Ranbir will be seen essaying Sanjay Dutt in the actor’s upcoming biopic helmed by Rajkumar Hirani, that is slated to release on March 30, 2018.

govinda_660_102813020220A couple of days ago, Govinda was really angry with the makers of Jagga Jasoos for chopping off his scenes from the film. Now, Ranbir Kapoor, one of the producers of the film, has responded to it. He is very apologetic in his clarification and says that it’s ‘irresponsible’ but necessary for the sake of his film.

In a conversation with DNA, Ranbir said, “Unfortunately, the entire track has been chopped off; it is our fault, Basu and mine. We had started this film prematurely, without a complete script. The character had completely changed, and the film was taking so long.”

He further said, “It is very irresponsible, and very unfair to cast a great legend like Govinda and not do justice to his role. We are apologetic, but it is the best thing for the film so we had to cut that track out.”

Directed by Anurag Basu, Jagga Jasoos also features Katrina Kaif in an important role.

Last evening, Govinda vented his ire towards the ‘Jagga Jasoos’ makers, Anurag Basu and Ranbir Kapoor, for cutting him out from the fantasy drama. Recently, Basu reportedly stated that Govinda is not part of the cast. In a series of tweets, Chi Chi alleged that he was taken for a ride.

He wrote, “I gave full respect to the Kapoor family and did the film because he is my senior’s son. I was told I will get the script. I was told they will narrate the film in South Africa. I didn’t charge a signing amount; made no contracts. I was unwell and on drips, but still travelled to South Africa for the shoot. There were various negative stories and articles against me and that’s how the film was remembered for three years. I did my job as an actor and if the director is not happy it’s completely his call (sic).”

Govinda, who played Ranbir’s father, is certainly in no mood to let bygones be bygones.
