★ There can’t be another Govinda or Salman: David Dhawan !

Purva Desai, TNN | Mar 18, 2013



Everyone knows of David Dhawan’s penchant for Govinda. The director has worked with him in 16 films giving super hits like Coolie No. 1, Hero No. 1,Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Raja Babu.

That apart, Dhawan has also worked with Salman Khan to make hit films like Biwi No.1, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and Partner. Talking about his association with the two, Dhawan feels that the new generation in Bollywood has yet to prove itself including his son Varun Dhawan. “It’s very difficult to be like Salman and Govinda and I doubt if there can be another actor like them. Their calibre of acting is too high. They are very good and simply fantastic. Govinda is an ajooba (wonder) who can do everything. He can dance, act, emote and do comedy also. He can play multiple characters from a brother to son. He just has that ability. We’ve worked together in 16 films and I’d love to do more projects with him but he’s very busy. Same is the case with Salman. I’d love to collaborate with him again but he’s also very busy. Even if Judwaa 2 is made, it won’t be with Salman because he has played it to the hilt. He’s amazing”, says the director.

Adding, “If Varun wants to be the next Salman Khan, he’ll have to prove himself”.
