The Ranbir-Katrina starrer, after a massive delay, is now slated for release on July 14. The movie, directed by Anurag Basu, was originally supposed to have released in late 2014.
“If you ask me, Jagga Jasoos is delayed by merely six months. Thought its release had been in news since 2014, it was never officially announced. I don’t mind that my movie is the topic of discussion these days. In fact, the more it grabs people’s attention by whatever rumours, controversies and news associated with it, the more it is beneficial for me and the film. It makes people even more anxious about it since they are already waiting for its release. It’s a good sign. I don’t take it negatively,” director Anurag said in an interview .
Jagga Jasoos was also pushed into the limelight after the alleged break-up of the two lead actors. “Although everyone on the sets was worried thinking on how both of them are going to face the first shot after the break up, they behaved like professionals. I did not confront any skirmishes while shooting. Watching the film one will not be able to distinguish between the shots before and after the break up,” said Anurag.
Ranbir has had his hands full with the untitled Sanjay Dutt biopic, for which actor had to reportedly gain 13 kgs of pure muscle to reflect young Dutt’s physique.
With the release date in sight though, both Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif have been busy with the film’s promotions. Here are some pictures of the lead pair from the film as well as from the promotions.
