Ranbir Kapoor‘s ‘Jagga Jasoos’ was a really ambitious project for the actor but it didn’t meet expectations at the box office. The film directed by Anurag Basu, starred Katrina Kaif opposite the actor. In a recent interview, Basu has revealed that he cut his fees as a director for the project and Ranbir also reduced his fees. He added that both him and Ranbir were extremely passionate about the project.Basu’s recent release ‘Metro…In Dino’ has just released this Friday on July 4. While talking about it and how he plans the budget of his movies in advance so they don’t suffer losses, Anurag also spoke about ‘Jagga Jasoos’. The filmmaker said, “It is always covered. None of my producers will complain about that. So I know this is the budget I should play with. Metro is made on a modest budget because I knew this is an ensemble cast, no big stars. That I am very conscious about. And the industry is very ruthless.”He added, “Even if the film doesn’t work, everyone should still make money. Jagga didn’t make a lot of money, but we were just quite there. Ranbir took less money. He cut down his fees, I cut down my fees. All of us. Because we were passionate about the project, we were not running behind money. But we made sure that we cut down on our fees so that the producer doesn’t suffer. Because it was our vision, our project.”For those not in the know, Ranbir’s father, the late Rishi Kapoor had blamed Anurag Basu for the film’s failure.
