Rishi Kapoor slams Anurag Basu, again!

Looks like Rishi Kapoor is not in a mood to let go of the failure of Jagga Jasoos that his son Ranbir Kapoor produced and starred in.

After calling Anurag Basu, who helmed it, an irresponsible director earlier, Kapoor Sr has slammed him again on a chat show. He did not spare Anurag Kashyap either. Kashyap had directed the Ranbir-starrer Bombay Velvet that was a big flop. When asked to talk about Anurag, Rishi said, “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. He probably indulged too much. I guess both the Anurags got indulged in their films. You know when they are good enough to work on a 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. 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 per cent record anyway.”
