Govinda miffed with 'Jagga Jasoos' makers for chopping off his scenes

Mumbai: Govinda is upset with director Anurag Basu for editing out his scenes from Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Jagga Jasoos. Basu recently revealed that due to the changes made in the storyline, Govinda's role could not make it to the final
cut of the movie.

"I did my job as an actor and if the director is not happy it's completely his call," Govinda wrote in a tweet. The 53-year-old actor said he took up the cameo in the film and shot for it in South Africa out of respect for Ranbir's father Rishi Kapoor.

"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 didn't even charge my signing amount, made no contracts.

"I was unwell and on drips but still I travelled to South Africa and did my shoot."
There were also reports of Govinda's unprofessional behaviour during the shooting of the film.

Reacting to it, the actor said, "There were various negative stories and negative articles only for Govinda and that's how the film was remembered for three years."
