Indian film producer makes shocking revelation about Govinda, says he started ‘rona-dhona’ becuase of SRK and Salman Khan
There was a time when Bollywood legendary actor Govinda used to rule the film industry with his iconic comedy films and amazing songs. He was also regarded as one of the best dancers in the Bollywood industry. However, the actor couldn’t take his stardom forward due to which he stopped getting movies.
Meanwhile, Bollywood’s renowned producer and former chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification, Pahlaj Nihalani, has recently opened up about his strained relationship with Govinda and revealed the reason behind it. He said that popular filmmaker David Dhawan, who has worked with Govinda in a lot of films, created a misunderstanding between him and the actor.
“David Dhawan created a misunderstanding. He felt that alone was responsible for my hits, and when I started working with Anil Kapoor, he felt betrayed. So, he started backbiting about me to Govinda. He spread hate about me; actors would come and tell me what he was saying. We went our separate ways. Govinda even abandoned a film we were doing together because of what David said to him; we had already started shooting, I had to finish it with different actors,” Nihalani was quoted as saying by News 18.
He went and started ‘rona-dhona’: Pahlaj Nihalani
Nihalani also talked about the movie Rangeela Raja in which he and Govinda united after a long time. Nihalani said that Govinda overshadowed Rajinikanth in the movie and deserved to win some awards. But before the release of the movie, he started speaking about being sidelined in the industry in front of social media and he also said that the reason behind it is Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan.
“It was a remake of a Rajinikanth film, and Govinda did a fabulous job in it. In my opinion, he did a better job than even Rajinikanth, and I was sure he’d win some awards. But just before the release, he went and started ‘rona-dhona’ in the press about being sidelined by the industry. He said Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan were responsible. At the last minute, my shows were cancelled. And look at him now, ghar pe baitha hai (he’s twiddling his thumbs at home).” he said.
