Unaffected By Rishi Kapoor's Rude Remarks! Anurag Basu Says He Will Work With Ranbir Kapoor Again!
Director Anurag Basu is happy that Ranbir Kapoor stood by him when the actor's father Rishi Kapoor blamed him for the failure of Jagga Jasoos.
Director Anurag Basu is happy that Ranbir Kapoor stood by him when the actor's father Rishi Kapoor blamed him for the failure of Jagga Jasoos.
Basu and Kapoor's first collaboration Barfi was highly appreciated but their second outing Jagga Jasoos failed to make a mark at the box office.
Rishi Kapoor Had Thrashed Anurag Basu
Calling Basu an 'irresponsible' director, Rishi Kapoor had earlier lashed out at him for not completing the film in time and claimed that Ranbir, being the producer, did not get a chance to see the final product a day before its release.
Anurag Is Glad That Ranbir Came Out In His Defence
However, Ranbir recently came out in defence of Basu, saying while he does not agree with Rishi's criticism of "Jagga Jasoos", his father was only trying to protect him.
"It is sweet of him (Ranbir) to say (such) things. It is difficult to give a statement like that," Basu told PTI, when asked about Ranbir supporting him.
Anurag On Teaming Up With Ranbir, Again
The director said he will re-team with Ranbir for a film. "I will definitely work with him (again)."
Anurag On Rishi Kapoor's Rude Remarks
Recently, Rishi also said on a show that both Basu and Anurag Kashyap, who worked with Ranbir in "Bombay Velvet", could not handle big budget films.
To this, Basu said, "I am happy with the statement that today people know Anurag Basu andAnurag Kashyap are two different people. I am not hurt. When you make a film you get both good and not so good feedback.
Anurag Basu On Getting Positive Feedback
"Mr Amitabh Bachchan said a very sweet thing on Twitter after watching the film and I felt very happy. If I am happy with good comments then I should be ready for negative feedback as well."
Anurag Said Jagga Jasoos Was Primarily Aimed At Children
Talking about the poor response to the film, Basu said, "During the promotions we maintained that the film is meant for children. We did a lot of things in the film for kids, an adult mind might question few things.
"I am satisfied with the response as not a single kid has come to me saying he/she found it (film) lengthy and boring. I would have been disappointed if kids would not have liked the film. I think kids did not go to watch the film in large numbers (that maybe the reason for failure)."
About two weeks back, a major fire broke out at RK Studios, where the first season of Basu's dance reality show, Super Dancer was shot.
"It is a sad and unfortunate incident. I have been shooting their since my television days. I remember seeing archives which are burnt now. I feel sad for Ranbir," he said.
