Govinda may not have appeared in a movie for a while but the actor is remembered as one of the best actors we have. People still feel that his comic timing and dance remains unparalleled over the years. In a recent interview, Govinda's co-star Adi Irani recalled some memories about the actor and his experience of working with him.
In an interview with Filmymantra, Adi shared, "While we were not together from day one, our struggle in the industry started almost together. He used to visit the studio where I learnt dancing, and at that point, me and my friends used to make fun of his style of dancing. We had no idea that one day that particular style would blow up and he would be known for it; we were fools for laughing at him.”
He also revealed that Govinda felt insecure of everyone on the set and hence, would just change things about a scene. Irani said, "He would read the scene and then would go on to change everything, and not just his role but also the way people were acting around him in a scene. He would try to change the scene in a way that would help him shine over others in the frame.”
Irani revealed further, "He wasn’t convinced that I could play the role of Tiger Tadipaar in the film and suggested adding two other villains alongside me, but once he saw my look for the character, he felt confident that I could pull it off."
Adi was talking about his character Tiger Tadipar from the film 'Anari No 1'.
