‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan‘ star Shehzad Khan, in an interview, recalled how Govinda consistently arrived 6-7 hours behind schedule, in stark contrast to the punctuality of Amitabh Bachchan, who would reliably appear at the set by 9 a.m..
Reflecting on his positive working experience with filmmaker David Dhawan, Khan recounted to Siddharth Kannan that Dhawan adeptly managed Govinda’s tardiness without Amitabh Bachchan noticing by engaging the latter in productive tasks.
Khan praised David Dhawan’s directorial prowess, remarking on the stark contrast in arrival times between Amitabh Bachchan, who would arrive promptly at 9 a.m., and Govinda, who typically appeared between 3 and 4 p.m. Khan humorously likened the situation to the variance between IST (Indian Standard Time) and GST (Govinda Standard Time), acknowledging their roles as character actors and Dhawan’s approach to managing the situation.
Several individuals, including Bollywood actor Raveena Tandon, advertising expert Prahlad Kakkar, and character actor Guddi Maruti, who have collaborated with Govinda, have recounted instances of the actor’s tardiness on film sets. They revealed that Govinda’s lateness extended not just by hours but sometimes even days. Shehzad Khan, Govinda’s co-star in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, recently recollected Govinda’s habitual delay of 6-7 hours, highlighting a sharp contrast with the punctuality demonstrated by Amitabh Bachchan, who consistently arrived promptly at 9 a.m.
