Govinda is not in a reconciliatory mood right now. After having been constantly pitched against co-stars in all his recent films, he feels it's time to stop the combative spirit.
He laughs mirthlessly: "I'm not just pitched against my male co-stars but even female co-stars. When I did films with Karisma Kapoor people kept debating on which of us danced better," Govinda said.
"Good that they never spoke about who looked prettier. Seriously, I don't want this kind of murky competition. It's hampering my career. Haven't Shah Rukh and Salman worked together in Karan Arjun and Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam ? Nobody pitched them together because people close to them don't want them to be at loggerheads. Even I want that kind of a peaceful atmosphere around me. I'm fed up with being on tenterhooks because of such undue comparisons with co-stars."
Didn't Govinda resent the fact that Akshay Kumar walked away with the meaty part in Bhagam Bhag ?
"Look, I was happy with what I got to do in Priyadarshan's Bhagam Bhag' and Nikhil Advani's Salaam-e-Ishq. I don't know why people keep pitching me against my co-stars. This isn't helping my attempts to re-establish myself. They become very conscious of my presence. I made no efforts to steal the scene from anyone."
Says the actor: " Partner with Salman has been a very satisfying experience. David Dhawan knew what Salman and I are about. He has worked so many times with both of us. He gave Salman the singing dancing and action. I got to do the comedy. So our domain was pre-divided."
" Partner is a hit. I'm grateful to not just Salman but his entire family. In today's times who would spend millions making a big-budget film with an outsider like me? I don't want my relations with them to be spoiled with the same old comparisons. Because what Salman-bhai can do, I can't."
