Actor Ranbir Kapoor plans to make his
maiden co-production venture 'Jagga
Jasoos' into a big franchise with a series
of films, a show on television and comic
books. Despite having a banner like RK
Films, Ranbir is co- producing film 'Jagga Jasoos' jointly with Anurag
Basu and has
floated a company with him called
Picture Shuru Productions.
"In RK Films there are four partners - my
father, both my uncles and my
grandfather. Whenever we have a good
director... we will produce a film for that
banner. I am very excited about 'Jagga
Jasoos', it is a detective film and a musical," Ranbir told in an interview.
"I think we (Anurag Basu and him) both
thought of producing together as we
had the same thought process. Anurag
Basu is a big name. I want to make
interesting and entertaining films and
give them a right platform not only in India but abroad as well," he said.
The project will kickstart in November
and Ranbir, who plays a detective in the
film, is looking forward to it. "We are
planning lot of big things for this film.
Like we are planning a TV show called
'Jagga Junior', we will start comic books, we will start animation and
cartoons,"
he said.
The actor said they are trying to build a
brand of 'Jagga Jasoos', so by the time
the film releases, people will be familiar
with what 'Jagga Jasoos' is about.
Ranbir is also likely to make sequels of
'Jagga Jasoos'. "We are making franchise films, we are trying to make a
big film like 'Sherlock Homes' meets
'Austin Powers'... it is going to be an
entertaining film," he said.
Though Ranbir plans to make this
franchise big like Hollywood films, he
wants to make use of Indian talent only.
"I think India has enough talent to
make great films. The least we can do is
be honest to the story and characters. I don't think you need help from
Hollywood to make big films," he said.
"There is enough talent in India, like we
have 'Krrish 3' releasing now and they
have used Indian talent for special
effects. I think it is testimonial of the
fact that we can also try and do
something like them or even better," he added. There are reports that Katrina
Kaif has been signed as the leading lady
opposite Ranbir for the film, but nothing
is confirmed yet.
