Govinda changes his habit for Mani Ratnam!
By Vickey Lalwani, 22 August, 2009

Govinda is (in)famous for always being late for his shoots for over two decades now. He has made several top stars wait for him. No filmmaker has been successful in getting him to shoot in the morning, in fact, before 2 pm. But Mani Ratnam has achieved the formidable feat of getting Govinda to shoot at 3.30 am for 13 consecutive mornings.

This happened during the last schedule of Raavana, when he had to get up in the middle of the night for his shots. It goes without saying that Govinda couldn't wake up on his own. At the end of the shoot, he was so exhausted that he had to resort to a massage for relief.

Confirming the news, Govinda said, "It was quite tough shooting for Mani sir's Raavana. But at the same time, it was a great learning experience too. To reduce fatigue, I used to take an oil massage every day in the evening before going to bed."

Raavana is supposedly a modern take on Ramayana, with Abhishek playing the title role. Govinda's role in the film is based on Hanuman. But the actor, who is tightlipped about his role, said, "I would say that I play a travel guide in the film."

Why does he not take on roles where he plays the leads dad/older brother? Similar to what Kader Khan was for him in the 90's. That's surely...
