Will Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor’s breakup affect ‘Jagga Jasoos’ promotions?

Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif-starrer ‘Jagga Jasoos’ is slated to release in April next year, and the promotions and the trailer of the film will decide if the moviegoers would like to watch the film or not. However, it looks like the makers are finding it difficult to get the ex-flames Ranbir and Katrina together to promote the film. Apparently, the former is ready to promote the film together, but the latter is not keen about it.

A source said, “A strategy has been planned. Before the release, some story or the other, either linking them together or fighting, will keep coming out in the news. Since last month, news has been circulating about Ranbir and Katrina patching up. There have been stories about both being very friendly with each other on photoshoots and on the sets. The production team wants Ranbir and Katrina to promote the film like Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh — with sincerity and affection. Ranveer is extremely exuberant, demonstrative and physical in his show of affection. Katrina and Ranbir have moved on in their lives, but the film’s team wants them to be more affectionate and natural towards each other as they will be promoting the film together.”

“Right now, they are not even talking to each other. They shot the last schedule in Mumbai last week in complete silence. They would come on the sets, shoot, and go back to their vans. During one of their earlier schedules, things had become so bad that Ranbir’s best friend Ayan Mukerji had to be brought in to calm them down. There have been enough delayed schedules and cancellations of the film’s dates because of the couple and the film has been delayed by almost two years. Now the producers don’t want to take any additional risks before the release,” added the source.

The source further stated that both the actors have been told that they have to appear friendly while promoting the film. The source said, “Everybody has tried to patch them up off-screen, but it’s not happening. Whether it is stories about remaining together or patching up, they have to remain in the news, come what may till the film releases, so it remains hot. The producers of ‘Jagga Jasoos’ feel that the cold vibes between their main leads might affect the box-office prospects of the film and there has been enough negativity around it.”

Well, we hope that the two come to promote the film together like a proper professionals.
