Actor Govind Namdev started his

Bollywood

career in 1992 with David Dhawan's '

Shola Aur Shabnam

'. In the film, he portrayed the role of a corrupt

cop

and went on to play many such roles in films to follow that won him a lot of applause from the audience and critics alike.

In a recent interaction with media,

Namdev

opened up about his struggling phase and said that although his performance in 'Shola Aur Shabnam' was loved by the audience, it had a negative impact as he was only getting roles of an inspector.

Namdev said that actor

Mahavir Shah

informed him that it was his 25th film as an inspector and that no one offered him any other roles. That's when he decided not to accept a similar role. So from that day, he started rejecting offers.

While Namdev has worked with some big stars in the Bollywood industry, he expressed a desire to collaborate with filmmakers Karan Johar and Mani Ratnam in future projects.
