The exciting news that Govinda would be part of Ranbir Kapoor’s Jagga Jasoos topped the headlines back in 2017. A pic of the actor donned as a dynamic hippie pulled the traction. But the news ended in a damp squib after director Anurag Basu declared at the trailer launch earlier that Govinda’s role would be deleted

After a long time, recently Anurag reveals to a news portal as to why he dropped out Govinda from the project. He started, there have been repeated postponements within the shoot already and so it was unclear if Govinda’s shoot is imminent or whether he is cancelling the flight, or have a tendency to suspend the shoot.

The film maker opines that, it absolutely was terribly unpredictable and he couldn’t have taken that stress. As they were shooting outdoors in African nation, everything was predetermined with precise dates and therefore the director simply had to oust him from the project.

Govinda hit out in 2017 through series of tweets that despite being unwell he respected as Ranbir was his senior’s son and didn’t even charge his payment for signing contract.

Ranbir previously regretted for casting legendary actor like Govinda and also admitted that it was his and Basu’s fault as the project was begun prematurely without proper script.
