Jagga Jasoos is a delayed project. Initially, the movie was estimated to be made on budget of around 60 crores. Though no official announcement has been made by the makers, it is estimated that the final production cost of the movie is around 90 crores. The major portion of the film has been reshoot which has increased the budget.
