Govinda thanks Rishi Kapoor for taking his side in ‘Jagga Jasoos’ incident

We all know that Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif’s film ‘Jagga Jasoos’ took almost four years to make. A lot of changes were made over these four years and one of the major changes that took place was that Govinda’s scenes from the film was chopped off. Govinda recently ranted out against the makers of the film and called them unprofessional. Post the failure of the film, Ranbir’s dad Rishi Kapoor slammed the director of the film, Anurag Basu, for not having a proper vision before starting the project. The veteran actor also bashed Anurag Basu for casting a legend like Govinda in his film and then chopping off his scene without even informing him. So in his latest interview with Bombay Times, Govinda has thanked Rishi Kapoor for taking his side in this case.

Govinda was quoted saying, “I want to say, ‘Thank you Rishi sir. At last, you showed concern. Good blood never speaks wrong’.” Further he expressed his respect for the Kapoor Khandan and stated, “I didn’t react much because I have huge respect for the Kapoor family. Also, I truly feel that it’s the director’s (Anurag) call to do what he wants to do with his film, but a little professionalism is expected. I had no clue what they were up to. They were busy with their own things and I wasn’t even informed about it (his ouster from the film). This, despite me doing the film without even charging for it. I was unwell and on drips, but I still travelled to South Africa for the shoot as I didn’t want people to feel that I am unprofessional or making excuses.”
