"I came to Mumbai only so I can work with Govinda. To call myself his fan would be an understatement.I've seen his films repeatedly. And my favourite is Zulm Ki Hukumat, a remake of The Godfather in which Govinda was awesome, " said Tigmanshu before he left for London where his Govinda film Showman is to be shot."
While Tigmanshu and half of the film's crew left for London last week Govinda, however, was stuck in Mumbai, his visa not coming through, thereby causing a delay in his departure for London.
Says Govinda, "For about a week I couldn't understand why I was stranded. But now the visa has come through and I'm off to shoot for Showman. I play a con artiste.
The film is about sting operations on television and other fake encounters that are such an important part of our lives today. Besides the fact that I want to work with Tigmanshu and I've a terrific role my biggest incentive for this film is London."
Govinda shares a deep affinity to London. "Earlier Dharamji was the one actor from our industry who loved spending time in London. Now there's me. I find every possible excuse to spend time in London."
Govinda's family will join him in London during the shooting of Showman. "So it should be a lot of fun, " Govinda ends hopefully.
