Rabat – While Bollywood film Jagga Jasoos will not be released until mid-July, fans can get a taste of the singing and dancing to come in new behind the scenes footage of the stars dancing on the streets of Morocco.
The film, titled Jagga Jasoos (Detective Jagga in English), is an Indian musical romantic comedy written and directed by Anurag Basu and starring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif. The plot centers around the story of a teenage detective searching for his missing father.
While filming some final scenes in Morocco, lead actress Kaif shared a teaser video of goofy street dances that were part of a shoot for a song. The video shows Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif doing a series of odd dance moves while clearly surprised Moroccan’s look on.
In part of the video, the actor Ranbir Kapoor can be seen holding a cap and asking for money. According to a statement Anurag Basu, the director, he was actually begging in the streets: “Yes it’s true that I asked Ranbir to hold a cap and ask around for money for the song, and people did start putting money in it. Can you believe it Ranbir collected 250-300 Morocco [sic] Dirhams! So in the song, Ranbir is genuinely collecting money while dancing for real people!”
The first song of the film, ‘Ulla Ka Pattha’ has already been released and reportedly is one of 28 songs composed by Pritam in the film.
Setbacks have plagued the filming of Jagga Jasoos, a combined effort by Disney and Pictureshuru Productions. Despite delays, however, a new release date has been set for July 14, 2017.
