Govinda felt ‘insecure’ about every actor he worked with for THIS reason, reveals Anari No. 1 co-star Adi Irani

by

Bollywood superstar Govinda has ruled the silver screen for over a decade, winning hearts with his impeccable comic timing and effortless charm. His films continue to hold a special place in the hearts of fans. However, his Anari No. 1 co-star Adi Irani recently made a surprising revelation about the actor’s mindset. According to him, the superstar was deeply insecure about every co-star in his films, even those playing minor roles. The reason? He always wanted to look his absolute best on screen, ensuring that no one outshined him.

In a recent chat with Filmymantra, Adi Irani, who played the villain Tiger Tadipaar in Anari No. 1, reminisced about his early days in Bollywood alongside Govinda. He mentioned that they both started their careers around the same period, encountering similar hardships. Despite not being together from the get-go, their paths ran side by side, leading to a deep bond between them as they navigated through their initial years in the industry.

Further discussing Govinda’s insecurity, Adi revealed, “Wo insecurity usko mere se nai sabse rehti hai. Chota characters bhi rahega toh usko insecurity rehti hai because he wants to look good which is okay. Usko insecurity hui thi no doubt.” (That insecurity was not just with me but with everyone. Even if there was a small character, he would feel insecure because he wanted to look good, which is okay. There was no doubt he felt insecure).

Adi Irani and his friends once encountered Govinda at a dance school, where the future Hero No. 1 star would demonstrate his dance moves. Back then, they found his dancing style amusing, not realizing it would eventually become legendary. Reflecting on that time later, Irani admitted he had underestimated Govinda’s talent. The friendship between them, which started during those early days, continued to be strong over the years.

Reflecting on their collaborations across seven to eight films, Irani praised the Raja Babu actor’s natural talent. He noted that Govinda had a unique way of delivering lines and a knack for elevating his role on screen.

Adi also recalled an incident from Anari No. 1, where Govinda initially failed to recognize him due to his transformed look. Later, the superstar praised his appearance and even arranged a special screening to appreciate his performance.

He also shared that Govinda was initially unsure about Irani playing Tiger Tadipaar, suggesting more villains for a stronger dynamic. However, after seeing Irani in full costume, he was convinced of his impact.
