The Story in Brief
Actor Govinda has revealed that filmmaker David Dhawan decided to end their successful partnership after 17 films. Speaking to ANI, Govinda said Dhawan felt he could no longer move forward with him, even though Govinda wanted to do more films. Their 1990s collaborations, including Raja Babu, Coolie No 1, and Hero No 1, made them one of Bollywood's most popular actor-director duos.
Govinda said he occasionally felt upset but maintained that their personal bond never broke. He recalled Dhawan crying when Govinda's name came up and said they still stay in touch, with Dhawan recently calling him after his latest film's release to offer support.
The Indian Opinion
Fans and gossip columns have long speculated about a fallout between Govinda and David Dhawan. But Govinda's account suggests the split was one-sided and amicable: Dhawan simply felt the creative spark had dimmed, while Govinda wanted to continue. The real test will be whether they ever work together again, or if this really was the end of an era for 1990s Bollywood comedy.
