You pick any from the slot, then be it ‘Shola aur Shabnam', ‘Haseena man jayegi', ‘Deewana Mastana', ‘Aankhen', ‘Raja babu', ‘Sajan challe sasural', ‘Kunwara', or ‘Coolie No.1', ‘Hero No.1', ‘Chote miyaan bade miyaan' and ‘Partner' all have been hilarious in their own way.
In this second inning, he is currently occupied with the promotional commitments of his much talked about Vashu Bhagnani's "Do knot disturb" starring Govinda, Ritesh Deshmukh, Lara Dutta and Sushmita Sen.
This film is directed by David Dhawan. With interface with media, he discussed several things about DKD, his up-coming films, and his rapport with rest of the stars and of course with David Dhawan.
What is the story of "Do knot disturb"?
The film is about this filthy-rich businessman who is married to a beautiful and sophisticated female but he falls in love with a supermodel and then seeks help from a friend. Lots of twist and turns takes place. It is an out and out comedy film directed by David Dhawan and produced by Vashu Bhagnani.
It's been long since you worked with Vashu Bhagnani. How was it?
Yeah, it been quiet a long time now. It's been nearly 10 years when we came up with ‘Bade miyaan chote miyaan' and it really did well at box-office. Prior to it I did films like ‘Coolie No.1' and ‘Hero No.1' and both were big hits. And indeed ‘Do Knot Disturb' will be a super success.
Sushmita Sen is one of the lead female actors in the film. Rumors are going round that all's not well between you both and that was clearly visible during the shoot. How far is it true?
You rightly quoted that these are rumors. There is no truth in it. We have worked together in many films and audience has appreciated our pair.
The other female lead actor is Lara Dutta. Elaborate...
She plays the character of my love interest. She has done a fabulous job and I have worked with her in "Partner" too. She is a great person to work with.
You are known for comedy genre. What different does this movie offers from your past flicks?
It is complete different film. Punches and presentation plays a very important role in comedy genre because they hold the capacity to add a new flavor to the subject. Perhaps, this film is different and I ensure not even for one minute people can control their laughter in the film.
Ritesh has nicknamed you as "King of comedy". How was it working with him?
I know him since he was a kid. I have seen his work in films like ‘Hey babyy' and ‘Masti'. He has great and authentic comedy timing and masters in it. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him.
Your lined up film also includes Maniratnam's "Raavan". Tell us something about it
I play ‘Lakshman' in the film. I always wanted to work with Mani Sir and with this film my dream has come true.
To believe the sequel of ‘Partner' was announced. When is it coming?
David and Salman are pre-occupied with many projects and therefore, delay is happening.
Even your daughter Narmmadaa is planning to enter Glam-world. When is it happening?
She is too young now and yes; she is planning, waiting for appropriate and pat subject for her.
