Did you know Govinda did not show up in Switzerland for three days during 'Hero No 1' shoot? Producer Vashu Bhagnani recalls

Producer Vashu Bhagnani, who is known for collaborating with Govinda on successful films like 'Hero No 1' and the original 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan,' recalled a memorable incident. He recalled an occasion during the shoot in Switzerland when Govinda was absent for three days. However, upon his arrival, Govinda efficiently completed the majority of the work within a single day.

During a conversation with YouTube channel Reviewron Ronak Kotecha, Vashu highlighted his positive experiences working with Govinda. Despite public perceptions about Govinda's punctuality issues, Vashu affirmed his excellent track record with the actor. He emphasized that Govinda consistently completed his work, regardless of occasional delays in arrival times.



Vashu Bhagnani shared a memorable incident from the making of 'Hero No 1' involving Govinda. The entire crew, consisting of 75 people, waited in Switzerland for three days as Govinda hadn't arrived. Vashu eventually called him, expressing their intention to return if he didn't show up. Govinda landed at 6 am, and despite initial tension, he quickly shaved at a nearby petrol pump. By 7:30 am, he gave the first shot for the film's top song, completing 70 percent of it in a single day.




Vashu emphasized that while it's understandable to voice concerns when experiencing losses, if the output exceeds expectations, there's no cause for complaint. He acknowledged that everyone has their unique temperament, and Govinda, being a creative individual, operates in his distinctive manner, which contributes to his effectiveness.



Vashu Bhagnani is eagerly anticipating the release of 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan,' featuring Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff in the lead roles.
