Rishi Kapoor took everybody aback when he lashed out at the
filmmaker Anurag Basu for the failure of Ranbir Kapoor's newest outing Jagga
Jasoos. He told to a daily, "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."
Now, another tabloid reported that both Anurag and Ranbir
were upset with Rishi for his remarks. A source told to the tabloid, "We
knew it was coming. Rishi Kapoor had been ranting against Anurag to anyone who
was remotely connected with Jagga Jasoos. He had even threatened to beat up
Anurag if he ever showed his face to him. He thinks today Anurag is an
'irresponsible director'. I am sure he would have seemed like a responsible
director had Jagga Jasoos been a hit."
The source further added, "As far as Anurag not showing
his film to Rishi Kapoor is concerned Sanjay Leela Bhansali did not show a
frame of Ranbir’s debut film Saawariya to him or anyone else. Recently, Rishi
was venting against Shakun Batra for his working style in Kapoor & Sons.
But the minute the audience accepted the film Rishi changed his tune. Sadly,
Rishi has also brought in Ekta Kapoor, Rakesh Roshan and Govinda to argue his
case against Anurag."
When the tabloid communicated Anurag for his remark, he responded,
"I want to avoid making any comments against a senior who also happens to
be my friend's dad."
