Jagga Jasoos had been in controversies ever since its inception. Firstly, it brought Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor together. They had broken up which led to the delay in the filmmaking. Another hiccup was in the form of dates for Govinda. A couple of years ago, the comedian and actor Govinda had expressed his displeasure on being ousted from Jagga Jasoos on Twitter. It so had happened that Govinda had shot for the film but Anurag Basu, the director had chopped off his role in the final cut. And now years later, the director Anurag Basu has opened up on Govinda's allegations.
While talking to Mid-Day, Anurag Basu said that due to his health conditions and lack of clarity on whether he would shoot or not, he had no choice but to let go. "Govindaji did come with us. With such delays already with the shoot, [there was confusion] if Govindaji is coming on the set, or is he cancelling the flight, or is he taking the fight, or are we cancelling shoot? It was so unpredictable. I couldn't have taken that stress, yaar. We were shooting outdoor in South Africa, everything was lined up. I just had to [let go of him]," the director told the news portal.
Back in 2017, in a series of tweets, Govinda had expressed his feeling. He wrote, "I gave full respect to the Kapoor family. I did the film because he is my senior's son. I was told I will get the script. I was told they will narrate the film in South Africa, and I dint even charge my signing amount made no contracts. I was unwell and on drips but still, I traveled to South Africa and did my shoot."
"There were various negative stories and negative articles only for GOVINDA and that's how the film was remembered for 3yrs. I did my job as an actor and if the director is not happy it's completely his call." he added. Meanwhile, There was also trouble brewing between Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor on the sets of Jagga Jasoos which terribly affected their performance. Director Anurag Basu was not happy with the shots and had re-shot certain portions of the film.
