Govinda being used for publicity for ‘Jagga Jasoos’?

Its been a few days since a picture of Govinda emerged from ‘Jagga Jasoos’, only to be told later that his scenes will no longer feature in the final cut.

A friend of Govinda has told Deccan Chronicle that the constant references to the veteran are being used as a publicity gimmick. The friend said, “Govinda was persuaded by Anurag Basu to play Ranbir’s father. However, as the shooting progressed, Govinda realised that the film and his role were not progressing as per prior commitment. Hence, he opted out and was replaced by the actor Saswata Chatterjee, who played ‘Bob, the assassin’ in Sujoy Ghosh’s Kahaani.”

The friend added, “Arnold Schwarzenegger was supposed to play the villain against Rajinikanth in his upcoming movie 2.0. Would Akshay Kumar like it if this fact was publicised everywhere?”
