Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor has once again blasted directors Anurag Basu and Anurag Kashyap on Neha Dhupia's podcast No Filter Neha 2. This isn't the first time that the actor has slammed Basu. He had previously hit out at Basu, calling him an irresponsible director, after the debacle of Jagga Jasoos.
On her radio chat show, when Neha asked Rishi to speak about Anurag for 60 seconds as part of a game (JAM or Just a Minute), Rishi went on a rant on both, Anurag Basu and Anurag Kashyap and 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 was. He probably got indulged too much. I guess both the Anurags got indulged in their films. You know when they are good enough to work on 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. So 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 percent record anyway...So it happens."
As always, Rishi did speak his mind without any filter. We wonder what the directors have to say about this.
