“He said I started asking too many questions and he asked me to play small roles”

Directly from Taqatwar in 1989 at Do not disturb knots In 2009, actor Govinda and director David Dhawan collaborated together for 18 films. But there came a time when they stopped working together after an apparent fallout. What went wrong between them?

Throwback to 2018, when the actor was on the show Aap Ki Adalathe revealed: “When I made 17 films with him, I spoke to him about the subject of Chashme Baddoor and he started the film with Rishi Kapoor. And while he was making the movie, I called him and he said, “Tu sun toh mein kaise film raha hai hoon.Then I said, ‘You told me that, you also brought up the subject.’

He added, “After I left politics, I told my secretary to keep the phone speaker on, so that I could listen to what he (David Dhawan) was saying. I heard David say, “Chi-Chi (Govinda’s nickname) questions a lot. » He said to my secretary: “I don’t want to work with Govinda anymore. Tell him to play some small roles. This shocked me and I decided never to work with him. After 4-5 months, I called him again just to see if he would give me a cameo in his film. He never called me back after that. I am revealing it in public after so many years. I think he’s under someone’s influence. I don’t think he’s the same David Dhawan I knew.

A possible reunion?

Speaking to Bombay Times, Govinda said, “I am happy that people still think we should work together. It’s his loveI. (There it is, my love) our repair had already taken place. It was our second meeting. It was a Diwali party where we ate good food and had a great time. We do not believe in stirring up the past. Why think about it? It’s not necessary. Let the past be over. Movie discussions weren’t a priority, but when it happened, we only talked about happy memories and there were many of them.

They both met at Ramesh Taurani’s Diwali party.
