Back with renewed vigour, the actor says that 'Chal Chala Chal' will break his comic image.
He's one of the finest actors in Bollywood. But Govinda—his fans and critics often grouse —has trapped himself in the comic image. But if the actor-MP is to be believed, a change of image is now imminent.
Govinda claims that in 'Chal Chala Chal', he will be seen in a serious subject. "This role is very close to my own political career. It is a serious film but not necessarily a serious role. It's about the youth and their issues. You will definitely see me in a different role here," he explains, sitting with friends and media persons at Jal Darshan, his Juhu flat. With 'BhagamBhag', Govinda marked his return to mainstream cinema. He's also a part of big films like 'Salaam-E-Ishq' and 'Partner'. But he's playing a wait and watch game. "I am going to be more careful about my films now. I hope to choose the right projects," he says.
Meanwhile, the actor also brushed off reports of him quitting politics. "I'm used to controversies," he laughs, adding, "I'm not leaving politics. I'm being targeted by people with vested interests," says Govinda. He says that he loves politics as much as movies. "I want to work for the betterment of the people. Maharashtra is home to me. I may have hailed from Punjab, but I am a son of Maharashtra first," he asserts.
