Mumbai Clearly unhappy over his scenes in 'Jagga Jasoos' being deleted from the final edit of the film, Bollywood actor Govinda has slammed the makers for doing so.In a series of tweets, Govinda said he did the film out of respect to the (Kapoor) family and because he (Ranbir Kapoor) was his senior's (Rishi Kapoor) son.Govinda also alleged that the filmmakers floated negative stories about him in the media because of which the "film was remembered for three years." He said that he did his job as an actor and if the director was not happy it was completely his call.
'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.I was told they will narrate the film in South Africa and I did not even charge my signing amount, made no contracts,' Govinda tweeted.He said that he shot for the film despite being unwell.'I was unwell and on drips but still I traveled to South Africa and did my shoot,'he said.
'There were various negative stories and negative articles only for 'Govinda' and that's how the film was remembered for 3 yrs,' he said.On his scenes being chopped off from the final edit of the film, the actor said, 'I did my job as an actor and if the director is not happy it's completely his call.' Jagga Jasoos went on floors in 2013 and initially there were reports of delay due to discord between Ranbir and Katrina, who were dating at that time.There were also reports of Govinda's 'starry tantrums' on the sets and that he also demanded for changes in the script.Directed by Anurag Basu, 'Jagga Jasoos' is scheduled for release on July 14.
