Pahlaj Nihalani’s Career Gave Govinda his first big career break Govinda worked with Pahlaj Nihalani in blockbuster films like Aankhen, Shola Aur Shabnam. Some time ago, he said about Govinda on the ‘Learn From The Legend’ podcast, ‘After the film Aandhi Toofan, I wanted to make a film with Mithun Chakraborty and Shatrughan, but at that time Mithun and Shatrughan used to do 4-4 shifts. Because of this, our film couldn’t be made. Then Rikku Rakesh brought Govinda to me. He also brought photographs, but I didn’t like them. I didn’t like his look.’ ‘The next day, he brought a video cassette to me, which contained his dances. At that time, breakdance was popular because of Michael Jackson. When he showed me the cassette, I asked what all he could do. I didn’t like his face, but I liked his dance and action. My story was full of action. I was going to London, so I told him to prepare himself. During my holidays in London, I completed the story. Then I added dance to it. As of today, there is no actor as talented as him. At that time, he wouldn’t fit into the role of an advocate or an inspector due to his height. But now he has become a star, and you can make a star do anything.’
