Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif's Jagga Jasoos has been in headlines ever since it was announced. After much ado, the film finally has hit the theatres. Going by early reviews, the film opened to a mixed reaction by both the audience and critics. 

Talking about the box office occupancy report, the film opened on a dull note - it was around 20-25%. It will be interesting to how much the film will earn on Day 1. In an event, Ranbir was asked will he pay back the distributors if the film tanks at the box office? 

Ranbir said, "Personally, if my film fails and I am making money out of it, then I will pay back the distributors." Elaborating more on it, he said that 'it is a healthy exercise' and his grandfather followed a similar trend. 

"It has been going on since my grandfather's (Raj Kapoor) time in 1950s. The style of making films where everyone makes money, not just the producers but also distributors and exhibitors. It is a healthy exercise. If someone loses money on something and you have made money out of it, it's good to compensate," added Ranbir.

"Like when Mera Naam Joker released, distributors incurred losses. So when Bobby released, my grandfather gave a bigger share to the distributors than the exhibitors," he added.
