Govinda feels that Bollywood gives attention only to successful people
Govinda has experienced the highs and lows of his life in the Bollywood industry. The actor strongly feels that during his low he felt that the industry values only successful artists. The actor who gave superhits like ‘Raja Babu’, ‘Hero No 1’, Coolie No 1’ and more, spoke about doing films where nobody saw him as a hero.
He said, “They didn’t see me as a full-fledged hero. I was not looking like a hero,” Govinda told PTI about the time when he worked on those projects. “It was very tough for me that phase. The industry is in few hands and has always been. It all depends on the release of films and your success. Everything revolves around success. Success hoga to kamaal hoga, tab hi log tumse baat karenge (If you are successful then only people will talk to you)”
He further added, “It was very important for me to come back the way people love me. I was not getting what I deserved. When I did last few films, I thought people are not utilizing me the way they can. I am getting used. There is no problem in getting used but if you are only praised and the film has not done well, then it becomes a subject of the market. It moves according to the business of your films.”
The actor says there were times when he tried to bounce off some ideas and improvisations that could be done in his roles but the directors were not too keen. “I was not getting the songs I used to do, the kind of dialogues I used to mouth. I used to try planning a few things on sets but the director used to say, ‘No sir, we won’t be doing that. You just have these many minutes in the film.”
Here’s hoping Govinda’s comeback will prove his immense talent.
Aa Gaya Hero will be releasing on 3rd March 2017.
