'I'm not in a mood to refuse films'

Third innings

“This is my third inning in Bollywood. Now I can afford to do all kind of cinema. I am not in a mood to refuse films. There was a time when I was refusing so many films. Specially in last two years I refused a lot of films. We keep waiting for good films thinking it would turn out good,” said Govinda.

There are two films of Govinda in the offing – Ravi Chopra’s Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai and 'Run Bhola Run'. Both are comedies.

'Run Bhola Run' is a romantic-comedy written and directed by Neeraj Vora starring Govinda, Tusshar Kapoor, Ameesha Patel and Celina Jaitley in lead roles. The film’s plot centers on two convicts who escape from jail.  Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai is directed by Ravi Chopra, starring Salman Khan, Lara Dutta, Govinda, Tabu, and Boman Irani. The film is likely to release in June.

“These are typical Govinda entertainers. One will walk out of theatre laughing out loud...and they will feel good,” said the actor. Presently, he is happy working with director Jagmohan Mundhra in 'Naughty @ 40'.

The film also stars Yuvika Chaudhary, Sayali Bhagat and American actor Lucia Gilbert.
“When I first came into the industry I wanted to work with directors of international repute. But my personality did not match their expectations. It still doesn’t, but at least I have got a chance now and I am happy,” said Govinda.

On his role in the film, Govinda said, “I play a lively happy-go-lucky guy called 'Happy' who wants to have just fun in his life. His romantic escapades revolving around Yuvika and Sayali form the story of the film. Besides, there is Lucia who will be the highlight of the film.”
