Anees Bazmee reveals directors are waiting to work with Govinda: The kind of comedy he can do, nobody can

Anees Bazmee and Govinda

Actor Govinda was one of the biggest stars of the 90s who was known for his brilliant comic timing and energetic dance moves. He had several hits to his credits back in the day. He was last seen on screen in 2019 in the film 'Rangeela Raja'. Now filmmaker Anees Bazmeee has revealed that many directors are looking forward to working with Govinda. Anees Bazmee penned scripts of Govinda films like 'Aankhen' (1993), 'Shola Aur Shabnam' (1992), 'Deewana Mastana' (1997), 'Raja Babu' (1994).

Talking to Siddharth Kannan, Anees Bazmee called Govinda the 'King of comedy.' "He is a great actor. The kind of comedy he can do, nobody can do it like him. I have worked with him on so many films and so many of them were such a success - Aankhen, Shola Aur Shabnam, Deewana Mastana, and many others. His comic timing, his magic is unmatched. He was so good in Raja Babu. I have written many films for him and all of them were successful. I personally feel he is a great actor."

So what's stopping Govinda from his big comeback in a role that does justice to him. To this, Bazmee said that many directors including him are waiting to work with the 'Coolie No. 1' actor.

"Not only me, there are many others who too want to work with him. And the day I get an opportunity to do so, when I feel that yes this is the particular film, the particular role that Govinda ji should do, then of course, I'll be happy to approach him. We share such a long-standing association that I know if there is something perfectly written for him, and if he does it, it will be great. He will totally elevate that character," he said.

Meanwhile, Govinda was recently seen at his niece Arti Singh and Deepak Chahuhan's wedding festivity on Thursday. The actor will also be contesting the Lok Sabha polls this year thorough Shiv Sena (Eknath Shine fashion). He recently also shared a photo with Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Instagram. Govinda was seen wearing a pink jacket with a white kurta and pajama as he stood alongside Shah. The actor wrote in the caption, "It was an honor meeting our honorable Minister of Home Affairs of India, respected Amit Shah ji, personally."
