Jagga Jasoos has been in news ever since it has been announced for the fact that Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif would be seen onscreen post their infamous breakup. Just a while ago, the pictures of Govinda being a part of the film created quite a buzz. In the picture, Govinda was seen with Ranbir and Katrina creating a whole confusion. 

In a recent interview, director Anurag Basu clarified that he isn't a part. Basu said, "I've shot a couple of days with him in the first schedule. Then there were changes in the story and other things. But Govinda isn't in the film, his part isn't there. It was very kind of him to agree when I requested him for the guest appearance. But it's our loss that he isn't there."

We got in touch with Govinda to ask about his take on the leaked pictures which went viral. Replying to our query, he said, "I am thankful that Anurag Basu at least opened his mouth after three years and finally, he gave the clarification about the role. I am happy that at least he spoke about it after three years." 

When we had interviewed Govinda two years back, he had told us, "Well I am not doing JAGGA JASOOS because I am doing ABHINAY CHAKRA, my home production film, wherein I play a lead hero. So I cannot do a father's role. If I was doing those roles then it was fine, but if I am not doing then why are you offering me that kind of a film?"

Later, in another interview, the actor had said, "I've finished my work but I won't be a part of the promotions. I'm upset with the makers for not clarifying things on my behalf. I can understand them not wanting to get dragged into a silly controversy but not reacting was not a solution. Nobody is allowed to make money by defaming me. I may forgive but I'll never forget."
