Bollywood actor Govinda wonders why people keep trying to
draw comparisons between him and young actor Varun Dhawan.
Varun, due to his naughty and playful acts in most of his movies,
is often called the new-age Govinda.
But, Govinda thinks the comparison is a "fake
one".
"Ranveer Singh and Varun Dhawan both have a body
like Salman Khan. But they can't say it. If they call themselves as Salman
Khan, then they won't get films. They can't afford to be against Khan. This is
how the filmy world works," Govinda told at an event here on Thursday for
the movie "Aa Gaya Hero".
"How can he (Varun) be like me? To become Govinda, he
needs to be innocent, uneducated and a poor village boy. Varun is already a son
of a director. In the last six years, he hasn't done more than two movies with
his father, whereas I did 17 films with his father (David Dhawan)," he further
added.
In the 1990s, Bollywood's 'Jodi No.1' Govinda and David
Dhawan gave a string of superhits. But, over the years, their equation turned
sour.
Talking about it, Govinda told, "When I asked David to
make the 18th film with me, he took my subject and titled it 'Chashme Baddoor'
and cast Rishi Kapoor in it.
"Then I asked him to put me as a guest appearance. He
didn't do that too. After that, I didn't meet him for some years. I kept
requesting him to take at least one shot with me so that it could be my 18th
film with him. But I don't know what he had in his mind."
For now, Govinda is looking forward to "Aa Gaya
Hero", directed by Dipankar Senapati and produced by Govinda. The movie is
scheduled to release on March 3.
