If you liked the era of 90s Bollywood, Govinda will always be on the list of your favourite actors. But there are also these 6 cult projects that were rejected by the star!

Gadar: Ek Prem Katha

Yes, did you know Govinda was offered a role in this blockbuster film? But he denied any role in this much-loved film. Guess it was supposed to be Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel’s year! 

Chandni  

It is reported that Rishi Kapoor’s role in cult classic Chandni co-starring Sridevi and Vinod Khanna was first offered to the actor but he denied due to his own reasons 

Taal

This Subhash Ghai film was once thinking of having the actor on-board. It was the role of Vikrant Kapoor that was offered to him but he denied, and Anil Kapoor was seen on the big screen

Devdas

Devdas is another film rejected by the superstar. The role of Chunni Babu played by Jackie Shroff was offered to the actor but he denied as he didn’t want to play a supporting role

Slumdog Millionaire   

Did you know this popular film was also offered to Govinda for the role of a show host that was eventually played by Anil Kapoor. It is a loose adaptation of the novel Q & A by Vikas Swarup

Mahabharata

The actor was offered the a role in the most popular mythological TV show Mahabharata by BR Chopra. He however chose to not be a part of this epic show 

Missed on-screen 

Fans await having Govinda back on the big screen in his signature style. But till that happens, we can always go back to his classics on OTT
