Jagga Jasoos (2017) remains Anurag Basu’s most creatively satisfying work. That the audience did not buy into his charming, almost fantastical world is a different story altogether. Thankfully, with the advent of digital entertainment, the show business and audience preferences have changed in the four years since the Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif-starrer bombed at the box office. Would the adventures of Kapoor’s wide-eyed Jagga Bagchi interest the viewers today? Some think so.
Basu says that over the past two years, he has fielded offers from some streaming giants to convert Jagga Jasoos into a series. “I wouldn’t name the platforms, but we had offers of developing it into a series. But if it didn’t work in theatres, how do we know it will work on OTT? Pritam is excited about the idea, and wants us to start working on it. However, I am in a strange space [regarding it]. When you do something with so much love and it doesn’t work, you don’t want to try it again. The idea of starting Jagga all over again is enough to give me the chills,” says the filmmaker.
