Ranbir
Kapoor-Katrina
Kaif's
2017
musical
Jagga
Jasoos
had
stirred
a
controversy
during
the
time
of
its
release
when
director
Anurag
Basu
fired
Govinda
from
the
film.
In
fact,
the
Coolie
No.1
actor
had
also
shot
for
a
few
portions
for
the
film,
and
his
look
had
got
leaked
on
social
media.
However,
later,
director
Anurag
Basu
had
confirmed
that
they
had
removed
Govinda's
role
from
the
film
as
the
film's
plot
had
changed.
On
the
other
hand,
Govinda
had
gone
on
a
Twitter
rant
against
the
makers
after
he
came
to
know
about
his
ouster
from
the
film.
In
a
recent
interview
with
Mid-day,
Anurag
Basu
opened
up
about
the
controversal
removal
of
Govinda
from
Jagga
Jasoos.
Anurag
Basu
On
Firing
Govinda
From
Jagga
Jasoos
The
Ludo
director
told
Mid-day,
"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]."
Govinda's
Rant
Against
The
Jagga
Jasoos
Makers
After
his
removal
from
Jagga
Jasoos
in
2017,
the
veteran
actor
had
blasted
the
makers
in
a
series
of
tweets.
Govinda
had
posted,
"I
did
my
job
as
an
actor
and
if
the
director
is
not
happy
it's
completely
his
call.
He
had
further
added,
"There
were
various
negative
stories
and
negative
articles
only
for
Govinda
and
that's
how
the
film
was
remembered
for
three
years.
I
was
unwell
and
on
drips
but
still,
I
travelled
to
South
Africa
and
did
my
shoot.
I
was
told
they
will
narrate
the
film
in
South
Africa
and
I
dint
even
charge
my
signing
amount,
made
no
contracts.
I
gave
full
respect
to
Kapoor
family.
I
did
the
film
because
he
is
my
senior's
son.
I
was
told
I
will
get
the
script."
Ranbir
Kapoor's
Apology
To
Govinda
Later,
in
an
interview
with
DNA,
Ranbir
Kapoor
who
was
a
producer
of
Jagga
Jasoos,
had
taken
responsibility
of
the
situation
and
said,
"Unfortunately,
the
entire
track
has
been
chopped
off;
it
is
our
fault,
Basu
and
mine.
We
had
started
this
film
prematurely,
without
a
complete
script.
The
character
had
completely
changed,
and
the
film
was
taking
so
long."
He
further
said,
"It
is
very
irresponsible,
and
very
unfair
to
cast
a
great
legend
like
Govinda
and
not
do
justice
to
his
role.
We
are
apologetic,
but
it
is
the
best
thing
for
the
film
so
we
had
to
cut
that
track
out."
