After Jagga Jasoos' disastrous box office log, Ranbir Kapoor cuts down fees for Anurag Basu's Rs 130 crore budget film
Ranbir Kapoor and Anurag Basu share a great bond. The duo have worked on two movies- Barfi and Jagga Jasoos. While their maiden project together was a success and was even sent to the Academy Awards from India, the latter couldn't lure the audience into cinemas and ended up being a box-office failure. Basu, who is currently on a promotional spree for his latest movie, Metro…In Dino has opened up about the failure of Jagga Jasoos. Anurag Basu states that all his movies recover their budget In a recent chat with Galatta Plus, Anurag Basu noted that all his films have been financially successful. That's the first thing he assures the producer whenever starting a new project. Although the movie might not have performed well at the box office, they recovered their production costs from non-theatrical deals and subsidies. Talking about the same, Anurag Basu said, "It (budget) is always covered. None of my producers will complain about that. So, I know this is the budget I should play with. Metro is made on a modest budget because I knew this is an ensemble cast, no big stars. That I am very conscious about. And the industry is very ruthless". Anurag Basu reveals how he and Ranbir Kapoor slashed their fees after Jagga Jasoos' failure Anurag Basu went on to reveal that he and Ranbir Kapoor had slashed their fees so that producers wouldn't bear the loss for the box office failure of Jagga Jasoos. "Jagga didn't make a lot of money, but we were just quite there. Ranbir took less money. He cut down his fees, I cut down my fees—all of us. Because we were passionate about the project, we were not running behind money. But we made sure that we cut down on our fees so that the producer doesn't suffer. Because it was our vision, our project," Basu concluded. For the unversed, Jagga Jasoos was mounted on a big budget of Rs 131 crore. It opened with just Rs 8.21 crore and ended its theatrical run with a net of Rs 52.60 crore at the Indian box office. The Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif starrer was a big box-office disaster. Although it was planned as a trilogy, the plans never continued further, as the first movie itself bombed. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Combine 60 g of water, 155 g of light corn syrup and 400 g of granulated sugar in a cooking pan and cook till it reaches 320 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, shut off the heat and start streaming in the mixture with 230 g of butter mixed with 230 g of cream. Cook the mixture again up to 240-245 degrees Fahrenheit. Let it cool down for at least six hours in a shaped pan covered with parchment paper and then cut the caramel into candy shapes. Now, temper some chocolate and dip the caramel candies in it. Don't forget to top off the candies with little flakes of salt. Mac and Cheese from 'The One with Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E.' Image credits: Pinterest You need 1/4 cup of butter, 2 cups of cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, 3 oz of elbow macaroni, 3 cups of milk, some paprika and 2 1/2 tbsp flour.

Lasagna from 'The One with the Dozen Lasagnas' Image credits: Pinterest Of course, we saved the best for last. If you had told Monica to make vegetarian lasagnas then she would have made them, but for now, you need to try this not-so-vegetarian recipe.

In another bowl take 4 cups whole milk ricotta cheese, 2 cups of parmesan cheese, 1 tbsp of parsley, 1/4th cup basil, 1 tsp of kosher salt,1/2 tbsp black pepper, 2 tbsp olive oil, and mix.

Repeat this until both the bowls are finished and then bake the lasagne at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes. Next, broil it for 1-2 minutes and serve.
