According to a PTI Report, Jagga Jasoos director Anurag Basu is finding it hard to bring out Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif’s real life chemistry on screen. Basu has directed Ranbir in Barfi previously. Basu also said that it’s not an advantage to have a real life couple play a film’s lead roles, but is in fact, a disadvantage.
Having a real-life couple is not an advantage but it is rather a disadvantage. The actors know each other so well and you are lovers in real-life, it gets difficult for them to bring their chemistry on the screen. So this is going to be very challenging.Anurag Basu, Filmmaker

The filmmaker clarified that Jagga Jasoos is not delayed, as rumours have been suggesting. It was meant to release after Ranbir Kapoor’s other films Bombay Velvet and Tamasha.
We have not shot the film. Ranbir is shooting Karan Johar’s film. I have only shot few days when he was free. Our film was always supposed to come after Bombay Velvet and Tamasha. When I started my film I knew this is going to be my schedule as Ranbir keeps a gap of six months. No actor would release two films in two months. This was the chronology that was to happen.
