When Govinda signed 75 films at 21 and Dilip Kumar asked him to leave 25 of them, actor said 'Main paise lautaunga kaise?'

As a lifestyle expert, I am deeply moved by the extraordinary journey of Govinda in the Hindi film industry. His dedication, perseverance, and sheer resilience are truly commendable. At just 21 years old, signing 75 films is an achievement that very few can boast of, yet he managed it with grace and determination.

Govinda is a comedian actor who has made Hindi cinema very proud with his hilarious performances. Some of his most famous movies include Hero No.1, Hadh Kar Di Aapne, Dulhe Raja, Coolie No. 1, Partner and many more. At the start of his career in Bollywood, Govinda had over 70 films lined up! Can you believe that at just 21 years old, he signed 75 films? Even legendary actor Dilip Kumar advised him to drop 25 of those movies.

Let’s delve deeply into this flashback. In a podcast conversation with Maniesh Paul, Govinda shared anecdotes about the time when, at the age of 21, he agreed to star in 75 films.

In the main plot of the story, I was assigned a role, and I found myself immersed in it. It was as if someone above had placed me in charge of managing this industry, said Govinda.

Reflecting on his chat with the late acting legend Dilip Kumar, Govinda disclosed that he suggested discarding around 25 films. However, as the star of Hero No. 1, Govinda revealed that he had already received the film fees from the producers. In jest, he asked, “How will I return the money to them?”

Later, Dilip Kumar reassured him, suggesting that divine intervention would ensure the event and requested the return of the money. Govinda consented to his suggestion.

Govinda mentioned that he frequently fell ill while filming, and he even had to seek medical attention quite frequently due to his relentless work schedule. Interestingly, at one point, the actor disclosed that he went without sleep for an entire 16 days because he was working non-stop on set for more than two weeks straight.

In terms of his career, Govinda first appeared on screen with the film Love 86 in 1986. Throughout the 1980s, he also starred in numerous movies such as Ilzaam, Sada Suhagan, Dadagiri, Do Qaidi, Pyaar Karke Dekho, Khudgarz, Paap Ko Jalaa Kar Raakh Kar Doonga, Jeete Hain Shaan Se, and several others.

In the 1990s, Govinda collaborated with director David Dhawan on numerous comedy films that continue to be fondly remembered today. Most recently, Govinda appeared in the movie Rangeela Raja, which came out in 2019.
