This actor made Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth wait for three days on set, would arrive late everyday due to…, the actor was…

In late 80s and 90s, Govinda was considered one of the biggest stars in Bollywood. But as the actor garnered more and more success, stories of his lack of punctuality started making headlines. At one point, Govinda’s tardiness crossed way too many boundaries, when he made Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth wait for three days on the sets of Hum. This shocking revelation was made by Vijay Patkar, who was part of Mukul Anand’s film.

Vijay who was an eyewitness, revealed that the entire crew and cast would arrive on time expect Govinda. As a result, they were unable to film the desired shot. While speaking to Filmymntra Media, he shared, “Director Mukul Anand wanted a sunrise shot with the whole family walking by. They couldn’t shoot it for three days because Govinda wasn’t on set. Rajinikanth, Bachchan saab were all on set. On the fourth day, the director requested him again and he came. All of them waited for him because he just wouldn’t come.”

Asking how the two superstars- Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth, would react to Govinda’s tardy behaviour, Vijay recalled that they used to stay silent, “They are all professionals so they sat there without any complaints. They came with the philosophy that I have allotted my date and time to the producer,” he shared.

Vicky also revealed that he heard Big B used to pick Govinda from his house when the two collaborated for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. “I have heard that during Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Bachchan saab would pick Govinda from his bungalow. He would come in his car, honk outside the gate and pick him,” he said.

In an interview with Aaj Tak, Govinda recalled being ‘scared’ of Amitabh Bachchan when they started working in BMCM, “People were also scaring me that he always comes on time. I said I can’t (come on time) because I am tied up in so many movies,” he shared. Govinda then decided to have a word with Bachchan, “I requested him that I hope this question does not arise that I don’t come on time. Big B said, “You call me and let me know what time are you coming. I don’t have a problem and it is not my concern if anyone has a problem with your timings’. After this conversation, I signed that film,” he said.
