Govinda Naam Mera starring Vicky Kaushal, Kiara Advani, and Bhumi Pednekar is all set to release on December 16th on Disney+Hotstar.
However, did you know that the first choice for this movie was Varun Dhawan and not Vicky Kaushal?
Director Shashank Khaitan revealed that Varun for the first cast for this comedy entertainer. As per reports, Shashank told Indian Express, “Nothing went wrong. After the lockdown, we all were trying to redesign our careers and figure out what we want to do. I also feel that with Varun and me, the pressure is very high when it comes to our collaboration.”
Shashank and Varun have collaborated earlier for hits like Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania.
“In a very funny way, this film, when I had written it for the very first time, I had Vicky Kushal in mind. But at the time Vicky was shooting multiple films,” Shashank continued.
Since the titular character Govinda Waghmere in the upcoming film is a choreographer, Shashank stated, “I know Vicky. Vicky dances. I have seen him dance at every party and he does not leave the dance floor. I’ve also always known that he has a great sense of humour. I’ve always known that he is also a great comic actor as well. Maybe destiny had it that we collaborate on this film and I’m sure Varun and I’ll do something together very soon. We are always talking about it.”
