“Ranbir’s look in Jagga Jasoos isn’t inspired by Tintin” – Anurag Basu

Jagga Jasoos is all the rage nowadays, thanks to the supposedly friendly banter between stars Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif where Kapoor keeps talking over Kaif by not letting her answer questions directed to her. Regardless, the film is highly anticipated because it has been in production since forever and it brings Kapoor and Kaif back on the big screen after a very long time.

Regardless, the film is highly anticipated because it has been in production since forever and it brings Kapoor and Kaif back on the big screen after a very long time.

What is also being discussed regarding the film is how Kapoor’s look seems quite similar to a very popular comic character, Tintin (we don’t see the resemblance though). The only thing in common is the fact that Kapoor’s hair is flicked upwards, similar to Tintin.

Director Anurag Basu clarifies that he did not have Tintin in mind when finalizing the look for Kapoor. “I am aware that the hairdo is the most obvious point of discussion but I wanted to give Ranbir a unique hairdo,” he spoke to Mid Day. “This look wasn’t my first choice. When we started trying out different looks, there was one we liked, but it did not make him look very child-like, which was an essential. No other look, apart from this one, matched our narrative. It’s a coincidence that it is the same as that of Tintin.”
