Recently, the stills of Govinda along with Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor from Jagga Jasoos had gone viral over the social networking sites. Most of Govinda’s fans are eagerly waiting to watch the film. Now, Govinda’s scenes were chopped off from the film’s final edit.

Yes, you heard right. This is confirmed by the director Anurag Basu. He explained his decision of editing Govinda’s part in the film by saying that there were changes made to the story. He told news agency that “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.”

However, Govinda slammed the makers for deleting his scenes from the film made a series of tweets and expressed disappointment.

He said that he agreed to shoot for the film without signing a contract or taking a signing amount out of ‘respect’ for his ‘senior’s son’ Ranbir Kapoor. Ranbir and Anurag Basu (also the film’s director) have jointly produced Jagga Jasoos with UTV Motion Pictures. Govinda added that he was unwell when he left for South Africa to shoot for his portion.

“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 traveled to South Africa and did my shoot,” Govinda posted on Twitter. “I did my job as an actor and if the director is not happy it’s completely his call,” he added.

He also said that “There were various negative stories and negative articles only for Govinda and that’s how the film was remembered for three years”.
