Coincidentally, Govinda and Sunil Shetty find themselves together again at the same location shooting for the comic caper Afraa Tafri. The duo was in Thailand three years ago too, filming for Loot (Shetty's production, which never saw light of day).

To add to the happenstances, Chi Chi is once again on a strict diet as his role demands it and is taking all the tips he can from Shetty. The star had taken health guidance from him earlier during Loot also.

Need of the script

Explains Afraa Tafri producer Krishan Chaudhary, "It was the demand of the script. Govinda plays an agile matchmaker in the film."

Chi Chi who has been fighting a constant battle with his weight has become extremely health conscious on location and has already started shedding weight.

Says a unit source, "Govinda is leaving no stones unturned. Ever since he arrived in Bangkok 10 days ago, he has been living on salads and diet food. While the rest of the stars are binging on the local Thai delicacies, he makes it a point to get away so that he does not yield to any temptation."

New jodi

Adds the source, "He has also been hitting the gym everyday after the shoot is over." Says Chaudhary, "A fitter Govinda along with the health-conscious Sunil is making this twosome look fab. This will be one jodi to watch out for."
