Rohit Shetty feels Govinda didn't get his due, says ‘he would have been the biggest superstar'

Filmmaker Rohit Shetty recently talked about actor Govinda and said that he gave blockbusters for continuous 10 years, but never got his due in the industry. He said that the actor along with David Dhawan has provided the most iconic films and would have been the biggest superstar.

Rohit Shetty, whose film ‘Cirkus’ is all set to release in theatres on December 23, spoke to Pinkvilla. During a segment, he was asked to guess the highest grosser of 1993, and he promptly responded, and said, ‘Aankhen.’ For the unversed, the film stars Govinda with Chunky Pandey and was directed by David Dhawan.

He further talked about Govinda and said, ‘For 10 years that guy (Govinda) gave blockbusters. He and David Dhawan–like Shola Aur Shabnam, Aankhen, Raja Babu, Jodi No 1, Coolie No 1, and Haseena Maan Jaayegi, that was back-to-back. I think he didn’t get his due otherwise he would have been the biggest superstar. Ab social media hai, ek chalti hai toh sab chilate hai. Back-to-back for ten years both (Govinda and David Dhawan) had given hits.'

Govinda has featured in many Bollywood blockbusters like ‘Partner’, ‘Bhagam Bhag’, ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’, ‘Raja Babu’, ‘Hero No. 1’, ‘Deewana Mastana’, and ‘Dulhe Raja’.
