Recently, Rishi Kapoor lashed out at director Anurag Basu for Jagga Jasoos failure. He also came out in support of Govinda, over Jagga Jasoos controversy. Yesterday, In an interview to Bombay Times, Govinda thanked Rishi Kapoor and said,"Thank you Rishi sir. At last you showed concern. Good blood never speaks wrong."

He further added,"I didn't react much because I have huge respect for the Kapoor family. Also, I truly feel that it's the director's (Anurag) call to do what he wants to do with his film, but a little professionalism is expected. I had no clue what they were up to. They were busy with their own things and I wasn't even informed about it (his ouster from the film). This, despite me doing the film without even charging for it. I was unwell and on drips, but I still travelled to South Africa for the shoot as I didn't want people to feel that I am unprofessional or making excuses. After doing all that, what I got in return has made me realise that I need to be more frank from now on. I shouldn't be sensitive or emotional when it comes to work. I should make changes in myself as this is how the world functions."
