‘Apne sath pujari rakhte the…’; This superstar’s bright career got ruined after he kept close connections with…, fought on set with director, he is…
In the 90s, this actor’s films were back-to-back sensations at the box office. Pahlaj Nihalani, who has produced many of this actor’s films, has recently made important revelations about his career. Filmmaker and former CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani has produced many films directed by David Dhawan and starring this superstar. Although he and David Dhawan had a good relationship, in a recent conversation, he accused David Dhawan of instigating the actor against him. He also talked about the downfall of his career and blamed the company for the ‘pundits’ who kept him for it.
Many shocking revelations were made about this actor’s career
Here we are talking about the Bollywood actor, Govinda. Speaking on Vicky Lalwani’s podcast, Pahlaj said, “Govinda was an all-rounder. He handled his career very well, but due to his weakness, he trusts people easily, and the environment around him is not good, so he goes astray. He keeps company with pandits (astrologers, soothsayers) and goes according to his surroundings and their beliefs. But people do not take those conversations seriously. Such conversations are detrimental to his career in the glamorous film industry.”
Asked Govinda to be innocent, but he…
Pahlaj described Govinda as naive and gave the example of his film Partner to explain this. He said, “Govinda is so naive that David Dhawan wanted Govinda to play that character in Partner, but it was claimed that David and Salman helped Govinda during the downfall in his career. But Govinda got so emotional that he got so angry.
He acted as if he was helping Govinda, but actually, he wanted Govinda to play that character.” Govinda and David Dhawan were working together for a long time and have given many great films to the industry. However, later there was a rift between them and the two drifted apart. Partner was released in 2007, which was a hit. This was the last film in which they worked together.
Who was held responsible for Govinda and David Dhawan’s friendship?
Pahlaj also accused David Dhawan of poisoning Govinda’s mind and instigating him against Pahlaj and said that this is the reason they stopped working together. He said, “David Dhawan poisoned Govinda’s mind against me.” Pahlaj said that David was angry with him because he felt that he had earned money for him in the 1993 film Aankhen, which had Govinda in the lead role. However, Pahlaj argued that he was the producer of the film, and it was also his story that was made into a feature film. He also said that Anees Bazmee had written the dialogues of the film and David Dhawan was its director, but claimed that he was like a “dummy director”.
