I want to avoid making any comments, reveals Anurag Basu on Rishi Kapoor!

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."
