Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif‘s break up may have been a source of disappointment for many, but the worst hit was definitely faced by their upcoming film, Jagga Jasoos, directed by Anurag Basu. Now that the film is ready and slated to release on April 17, the producers have reportedly asked them to promote the film together. Further, they have been asked to “promote the film like Ranveer and Deepika” and be more affectionate and natural towards each other.

According to DNA, a source said:

A strategy has been planned. Before the release, some story or the other, either linking them together or fighting, will keep coming out in the news. Since last month, news has been circulating about Ranbir and Katrina patching up. There have been stories about both being very friendly with each other on photoshoots and on the sets. The production team wants Ranbir and Katrina to promote the film like Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh — with sincerity and affection. Ranveer is extremely exuberant, demonstrative and physical in his show of affection. Katrina and Ranbir have moved on in their lives, but the film’s team want them to be more affectionate and natural towards each other as they will be promoting the film together.

Reportedly, the ex-lovers don’t even talk to each other and as per a source, their last schedule was shot in complete silence. It was also heard that things became so bad that Ranbir’s best friend, Ayan Mukerji had to be brought in to calm them down. With so many delayed schedules, cancellations of the film’s dates, there is enough negativity surrounding the film. Therefore, Ranbir and Katrina have been reportedly asked to put an amicable front as the producers don’t want to take any additional risks before the release.
