Why did Ranbir Kapoor cut fees
During the conversation, Anurag spoke to Jagga Jasoos and its flop at the box office. He said, ‘Jagga did not make much money, but we just did not make much difference at the level. Ranbir took less money. He reduced his fees, I reduced my fees. We all because we all had a passion for this project, so we were not running after money. But, we thought that we should reduce our fees so that the manufacturer would not be harmed. Because it was our vision, our project.
