Rishi Kapoor lashes out at Anurag Basu again: He made a total mess of ‘Jagga Jasoos’

Rishi Kapoor is one actor who is known for his brutally honest opinions of others. The actor is hardly a diplomat and has never shied away from giving people a piece of his mind. Rishi was very upset with Anurag Basu after the release of ‘Jagga Jasoos’ as the film had kept getting delayed for over three years. Recently, the actor lashed out at both Anurag Basu and Anurag Kashyap, on Neha Dhupia’s chat show.

Neha asked Rishi to talk about Anurag for 60 seconds. The actor stated, “Anurag? There is Anurag Kashyap, who made ‘Bombay Velvet’, but he made a better film in ‘Gangs Of Wasseypur’, I couldn’t understand head or tail of ‘Bombay Velvet’. And then there was Basu who made ‘Barfi’ an outstanding film. I am so happy he took my son for it. My son got great recognition for the film and then he made this Gajja Jasoos..what ‘Jagga Jasoos’ whatever.. which he made a total mess of. It was as messy as my pronunciation was. He probably got indulged too much. I guess both the Anurags got indulged in their films. You know when they are good enough to work on certain budget and suddenly they are given huge budgets in hand so bandar ke haath mein khilona nahin aa jaata hai, he goes absolutely berserk. So I think that’s what actually happened with both these guys. They were given budgets they could not handle and I guess it happens. It happens with every director, every actor you can’t have a hundred percent record anyway…So it happens.”

While speaking to a leading daily about Anurag Basu, Rishi Kapoor had earlier also said, “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.”
