Govinda clarifies why he didn't do SHAANDAR and JAGGA-JASOOS


Govinda is all set to make a comeback with two back-to-back releases - Kill Dil' and Happy Ending'. The actor was also offered two big films like Shaandar' and Jagga Jasoos', but he didn't do the films. He has now clarified why he rejected the movies.


Talking about Shaandar' in which he was offered the role of Alia Bhatt's father, Govinda said, "I had agreed to do Shaandar'. The makers had promised to tell me the story of the film, but they couldn't as they were busy. And then 15 days before the film was going on-floors, the makers said that they will tell me the story on the sets to which I disagreed. I don't work like that. Though I loved the entire team of Shaandar', since I wasn't aware about the story I had to back out."


He was also offered Ranbir Kapoor's father's role in Jagga Jasoos', but he rejected it. The actor said, "Well I am not doing Jagga Jasoos' because I am doing Abhinay Chakra', my home production film, wherein I play a lead hero. So I cannot do a father's role. If I was doing those roles then it was fine, but if I am not doing then why are you offering me that kind of a film?"


However, he added, "If offered, I will do the role of a father but it should be nice."

I am somehow not convinced with the reason Govinda gives for not doing Shaandar...I hardly think Pankaj would have agreed to do the role without reading the script!...so Vikas would have certainly done that!...

The only time Govinda will ever play a leading hero now is in his own home productions.

I can see why he doesn't want to play a father to 30 some year old Ranbir but Shaandar he was so suppose to play Alia's father right?
Anyways they got a better actor, it's his loss!

Govinda actually accepted JJ role and even flew to South Africa for the shoot. They couldn't shoot his scenes as his hand got injured. Didn't he say in another interview that he's in the film but not playing RK's father? Guess he still takes decisions on a whim.

You were on the verge of being replaced by Jackie Shroff in Jagga Jasoos because producer-directorAnurag Basu was exasperated by your tardiness.
Rubbish! I was always on time, even when I was unwell. I even took an IV drip to the sets. Why does my reputation precede me? I am not living in the '90s. I'm putting my best foot forward, trying to be ethical and professional. Yet somebody out there is trying to sabotage my career. All this has opened my eyes to the fact that in this industry you have neither friends nor foes. Sab time time ki baat hai. It is sad but true. In fact, when these rumours started floating, I called up Anurag to check what's going on. I was really upset with reports in the media that I was playing Ranbir Kapoor's father. Let me clarify this once and for all: I am NOT playing Ranbir's father
