/> Sad but true. Choreographer-turned-director Ganesh Acharya who made Govinda dance to innumerable hit songs in the past, has fallen out with the star.

Reason? They couldn't see eye to eye on the way Acharya's Money Hai To Honey Hai was shaping up.

"Ganesh Acharya had promised me that Akshay Kumar would be making a guest appearance for one of the songs Mash–a- Allah.. The next thing I know Ganesh was dancing on screen himself in that song.

Yeh ek bhanyankar surprise hua.It was something beyond my imagination to see Ganesh in Akshay's place. ...There was a vast difference between what Ganesh had said and what he finally delivered."

Govinda, recounting the string of incidents leading to the sad fall-out between the two, burst into peals of laughter as he recalls his shock on seeing Acharya instead of Akshay in the song.

"Film ko badi maar maari hai critics hai....That needn't have been. What Ganesh Acharya narrated to me and what he finally shot and edited are somewhat different.

I warned Ganesh not to make a lengthy film. I told him to keep it down to approximately two hours and stop getting lost in subplots. I asked him to cut 12 minutes of the playing time. He didn't listen to me. That's okay.

From now on I've decided to be only an actor in a film. There's no need for to advise the director specially if he thinks he knows best."

There's a regret and acceptance in Govinda's about the termination of such a long association.

"I don't know how it happened. Even members of one's own family stop listening to you after a point. Ganesh felt I shouldn't interfere in his writing skills, and that I should just listen to him on the sets. Thoda ussmein director jag gaya (the director in him become aggressive)," the actor observes sarcastically.

Govinda specially objected the introduction of Prem Chopra's character. "He never discussed it with me. I didn't even know about this character's existence in the plot. When I finally saw the film I asked Ganesh, 'Bhaiyya, yeh kya hai?'. I think somewhere while discussing the commercial angle with me Ganesh lost his way.I can't figure out where Prem Chopraji came into my picture. And why. He's a senior actor and I felt Ganesh was portraying him crudely. I did tell him that. " Govinda feels Acharya was influenced by another actor in the film. "I don't want to name anyone. But Ganesh suddenly stopped listening to my advice. Suddenly he withdrew from any interaction with me.

Woh chup ho gaya. He was lost in his own world. Ganesh left me no choice but to keep silent after that. Bhaiyya, chup hi rehne mein bhalaai hai. But I'll say this. My films usually speak a language of innocence.

That was lost in Money Hai To Honey Hai. I thought I was doing a film about the team spirit. Little did I know that so much bitterness would creep in.Even in the choreography I found Upen Patel's song to be dicey."

Govinda didn't appreciate the spoofs on Ekta Kapoor and Vijay Mallaya. "I don't believe in poking fun at people who have achieved so much. I didn't know about Ekta. But I was told about Vijay Mallya and Laxmi Mittal's names being used. I was told they were being mentioned with reverence, so I kept quiet."

The Money-Honey experience has left Govinda sober. "I've decided to be an obedient worker on the sets, no more. I tried to reason with Ganesh to a point. I failed.

We decided to work together because of our long-standing friendship. But as the shooting progressed we became distant. That when I became silent and moved to one corner. He suddenly changed. This often happens in this industry."
