The ultimate entertainer of Bollywood is back. Yes, we are talking about Govinda who is all set to woo the audience with his upcoming film Kill Dil. Not only is he playing a baddie but the Partner actor has lost oodles of weight and is looking super fit. Read on to know what he has to say about all the transformation and of course his film…
One of the biggest reason to watch Shaad Ali’s next directorial venture Kill Dil is Govinda. With this film, the talented actor will not only be gracing the big screen once again but he will be seen alongside the likes of Ranveer Singh, Parineeti Chopra and Ali Zafar. Now that certainly is a deadly combination, hai na peeps? Well, though Govinda is playing a villain in this one, he will tickle your funny bone with his comic antics and will also be seen grooving in the film. Guess there is just no reason why we should miss Kill Dil, right? Since Govinda-Ranveer-Parineeti-Ali starrer is slated to release this week, we caught up the Salaam-e-Ishq actor to chat about his film, his die-hard fan and co-star Ranveer and a lot more…
You have lost a lot of weight…
Yes, I was 114 kilos and when I was doing Partner I was around 98 kilos. So I started reducing but after a point weight reduce hi nahi ho raha tha. I did everything to lose weight but nothing really worked. I did yoga, running, gym and what not. Later, I came to know that my metabolism tissues had torn because I had cried a lot when my mother passed away. I was hospitalised for some time back then but that problem stayed. Then I did Savitri and I could reduce the weight the way I wanted to. I was asked to do it for three years and I did it for that long. I reduced weight and now I don’t even catch cough.
What is Savitri?
Savitri and Gayatri are Brahm vidya. It’s very good and I tell everyone at my home also to read it and understand it because it’s really good.
After Shikari, you are now playing a villain in Kill Dil. It’s a long time, how does it feel?
I am feeling good because people have liked the trailer and when I working on the film I didn’t think I would be able to do a villain’s role. I even told Shaad Ali that if it doesn’t look good ten after two three days we’ll male some excuse ke aise waise ho gaya …smiles.
What if you get typecast and keep getting offers like this?
The person who is giving money and respect is never bad (laughs). Whatever time gives is never bad.
Why were you hesitant initially about playing a villain in Kil Dil?
Because I haven’t done this role before and jab kiya tha tab confidence bahut high tha na. With Yash Raj, you know when Shah Rukh Khan played a villain in Darr, their presentation is never wrong. When a hero is playing a villain’s role, its important how he is presented and Yash Raj mein presentation galat nahi hoti. So I was like, ‘this villain looks nice because it’s being presented like a hero.’ In that way, you don’t become a villain, it’s just a point of view. He thinks he is right on his part and others can do whatever they want or feel whatever they want. They present villains that way and that’s what I liked.
But were you hesitant to play a baddie because of the image you had already made?
See when I do a role; I should feel I am doing it very honestly. I should feel like that character so that at least it becomes memorable. So meri wahi chahat thi…
Since Gunday, Ranveer Singh has been praising you a lot and even in his recent interview he said that he had the best time dancing and shooting with you…
Mujhe toh woh kamala lagta hai, may god bless him. I saw his and Deepika Padukone’s film and though I couldn’t see the climax, I whistled quite a lot during the film…smiles. He has worked very hard. Usne jo body banayi who hum log kabhi nahi bana paye. Whatever role Ranveer is doing, he dives into it completely. And he does it very honestly. His appreciation isn’t fake and nor he is as a person. You can see that in his eyes. And it’s very rare so I pray he stays like this as long as possible. Because then he can bring out better characters out of himself. Honestly is like a treasure which everyone is tries to steal from you. So it’s important to stay the way you have always been for as long as possible. He is very good and I really like him. The only tip I gave him was the body he showed in Ram Leela, he should keep that and his personality like that forever. Bahut saal baad aisi personality dekhi.
Is he capable of becoming the next Govinda?
Main jis daur se nikli hoon ab waisa daur bhi nahi hai, toh wo next Govinda kaise banega? Wo kaise 48 ya 49 films kaise karega at a time? Toh he is unique in is own way and the way he works I am sure wo kuch alag niklega. People who work hard always become big.
From Shahid Kapoor to Ranveer Singh, everybody says they have taken inspiration from you when it comes to dancing…
But tell them only one thing: Tum kabhi dance ko dance ki tarak karo hi nahi. Tum bina bole baat karo. Ye log ab kar rahe hain aise. I remember Sonakshi’s song with Shahid from R…Rajkumar, I really liked it a lot. Mujhe Sonakshi aur Shahid ki jodi bhi achi lagi. Deepika and Ranveer also look good together. When they work, aisa lagta hai wah wah wah…nikal padi…(laughs).
Ranveer in one of his interviews said that Govinda as performer and as an actor never got his due. Do you agree with that?
It depends on where do you see the due? I could serve my family and I could look after my parents, I could do work. I came from Virar and became world’s 10th popular man. Today most artists follow my kind of cinema so for me this is enough. And awards aur woh sab ke liye toh puri zindagi padi hai. You can do good work whenever you want.
Comedy during your time was very different than what it is today. What’s your take on that?
I don’t think their language is wrong. Jis cheez ki bhasha galat nahi, wo har cheez achi hai. When Ajanta Alora was made, a lot of people may have taken objection at that time. But that language isn’t wrong. Toh jiski bhasaha galat nahi hi aur jiska dil bhi galat nahi hai wo toh acha hi hota hai and who mujhe har tarah se acha hi lagta hai?
So would be comfortable doing a sex comedy?
Main har jagah comfortable hoon, jahan kaam mil raha hai. But I should know that whatever he is saying, he is saying nicely. But uss waqt agar samjh main nahi aaya to bad luck.
