Govinda has no good things to say about Karan Johar: He is more jealous than David Dhawan

Actor Govinda, whose next film Aa Gaya Hero is slated for a March 3 release, is really miffed with director Karan Johar for releasing his own film, Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya, just a week later. Things were already not well between them since Karan did not invite him on the latest season of Koffee With Karan, and the clash of films is certainly not helping.

In an interview to Pinkvilla, Govinda made some strong comments, accusing Karan of nepotism and not being what he shows to the world. “He has never called me in 30 years, he doesn’t see actors who are not the part of his group and doesn’t even say a hello, I doubt. He’s not that kind-hearted. It’s a well-planned and smart move by Karan that he’s releasing his film a week after mine. Mujhe woh kabhi seedha nahi lagta hai (He doesn’t seem like an innocent person to me),” he said.

Earlier, when Govinda voiced his displeasure on not being



invited to Koffee With Karan, the host replied with a public apology: “There was a talk of getting him on the show in between but things did not happen then. We had thought about it. It would be an absolute honour and privilege to have Govinda on the show. My apologies that he hasn’t been (on the show) and he felt bad about it. There is no intention to hurt him. He is a terrific artist and a great movie star. I would love to call him. I will take a note and call him and I hope he accepts my invitation,” Karan had said.

However, Govinda has clearly not bought that. “He must have said that it would be a matter of national respect for him if he calls Govinda, but he is releasing Varun’s film just a week after my film. He shows that he’s very humble and innocent, but woh mujhe David se zyaada jealous and zyaada khatarnak lagta hai (He seems more jealous and dangerous than David Dhawan to me),” he said.
