Rishi Kapoor, Anurag Basu

If reports are to be believed then senior actor Rishi Kapoor was miffed with director Anurag Basu for not showing him his son Ranbir Kapoor’s movie ‘Jagga Jasoos’ before its release day. The movie which had been in the making since four years, finally released today and the makers had a hard time getting things in place. After the movie trying really hard to get a U certificate, it was granted a U/A certificate by the CBFC. Plus, reports were rife that some portions of the movie were unfinished due to Pritam’s music score taking time to complete.

So, all of this affected director-producer Basu and hence, he had decided to not show the movie to anybody before its release date. Apparently, Rishi Kapoor was upset with this behaviour of Basu. A source close to both spoke about the issue. The source said, “Both Anurag and Chintu ji are right in their own way. If Anurag doesn’t want to show the film to anybody before its release, that’s his prerogative. On the other hand, Chintu ji is also within his rights, as his son is a co-producer of ‘Jagga Jasoos’. And even if that wasn’t the case, he’s entitled to be anxious about his son’s career. Ranbir has not had a hit in a while.”

The movie starring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif released today.
