Kahani mein twist?
Rumours and reports have been doing the rounds that Govinda has been replaced by Jackie Shroff in JJ. This buzz surfaced after the former reportedly interfered with the film's script and had been missing from the set for two days after suffering a hand injury, during the Cape Town schedule. Basu calls these rumours "rubbish" and wonders where they're coming from, "Govinda has completed the first schedule with us and begins the next with us in November. There's a twist in the tale, so I can't reveal much except that he plays Ranbir's father in the film."
However, Govinda avers, "I have no issues about playing a father or even a grandfather, but in Jagga..., I am not playing Ranbir's father. He goes on to add, "I've been hearing negative stories about me being unprofessional on the sets ever since I joined the film industry 30 years ago and am sure vested interests are at work in spreading them. I have spoken to Anurag and he has assured me that I am very much there in the film. It is an exciting role."
