Govinda was upset about being offered Chunni Lal's role in 'Devdas', was willing to do if Shah Rukh Khan requested him
During an interview, Govinda revealed that he was offered a supporting role of Chunni Lal in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Devdas' alongside Shah Rukh Khan.
Govinda is one of those actors who literally reigned the 90s with his hit films. The actor known for his comic timing and impeccable dancing skills was a part of several blockbusters in the 90s and was even considered as a superstar. His collaboration with filmmaker David Dhawan created wonders on the big screen and also at the box office. However, during a recent Aap Ki Adalat interview, Govinda spoke about how he rejected a role because he was a superstar.
Yes, the actor spoke about rejecting the role of Chunni Lal in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas. Govinda stated, "I asked Sanjay aapko mere mein Chunni Lal kaha dikhta hai? I was a superstar at that time. Mujhe laga theek hai, aap top ke director ho, achchhi baat hai, par aap mujhe character role kyu de rahe hai. Maine kaha ek kaam karna, Shah Rukh se kaho ki woh mujhe kahe. I can do the film for friendship but I won't do it otherwise. I won't do the film because you are a star or a top director. I love Shah Rukh a lot. We haven't done a film together but he is a very nice person."
We wonder how the character of Chunni Lal would have shaped up if Govinda would have done it!
