Varun Dhawan cannot be like me: Govinda

Mumbai: Actor-comedian Govinda wonders why people keep trying to draw comparisons between him and young actor Varun Dhawan. Varun, due to his naughty and flirtatious portrayals in most of his films, is often called the new-age Govinda. However, Govinda thinks the comparison is a "fake one".

"Ranveer Singh and Varun Dhawan both have a body like Salman Khan. But they can't say it. If they call themselves as Salman Khan, then they won't get films. They can't afford to be against Khan. This is how the filmy world works," Govinda said at an event here on Thursday for the movie 'Aa Gaya Hero'.

Govinda and David Dhawan’s hit jodi of the 90s, who gave us classic comedies like Coolie No.1, Haseena Maan Jaayegi, Raja Babu to name a few, will not be working together again in the future! Reason? Govinda says that he is deeply hurt by Dhawan’s actions and that he cannot bring himself to work again with the director he did 17 films with!
