Govinda on drifting away from films, and finding his feet in Bollywood again with Rangeela Raja

Firstpost  

It’s difficult to decipher actor Govinda from his quotes. Govinda’s upcoming film, Rangeela Raja, unites him with producer Pahlaj Nihalani, 25 years after having delivered blockbusters like Ilzaam, Aankhen and Shola Aur Shabnam. When asked as to why he hasn’t got the opportunity to work with established banners of the film industry, he reminisces about his initial days as a struggling actor. Later, I decided that I would never approach them; if they they deemed me fit for a suitable character in their film, they would approach me.” Govinda further reveals that he initially had approached every top director of his era for work but was kicked out from their offices every single time. They often used to ask me why I was standing at their office and my reply would be, ‘bheekh mangne ke liye khada nahi hu.’ The only thing I wanted at that time was work and they could have very politely said ’no’, but you can’t play with a person’s emotions.” The actor believes that if a biopic were to be made on him, the only actor who could play him on the celluloid is Ranveer Singh.
