Govinda, one of the most sought-after actors of the 90s, has been away from the screen for over five years now. He was last seen in Rangeela Raja (2019). His long-time associate, filmmaker and writer Anees Bazmee, who wrote scripts of his films like Aankhen (1993), Shola Aur Shabnam (1992), Deewana Mastana (1997), Raja Babu (1994) among many others, recently opened up on how not only him, but many other directors are looking forward to work with Govinda, who is hailed for his comic timing.
In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Anees called Govinda the “king of comedy” and said, “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.”

When asked what is holding back Govinda’s big comeback, the one he truly deserves, Anees said, “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.”
