Govinda denies finalising Ganesh Acharya

While Ravi Chopra's next and David Dhawan's forthcoming films are most certainly on the anvil for the suddenly-revived career of Govinda, choreographer-turned-director Ganesh Acharya's next which is being counted among the back-on-the-track star's forthcoming projects, is still not a certainty.

When the news of Govinda doing Ganesh Acharya's film broke Govinda called me to say, "Ganesh has approached me. And I'd certainly like to do his film. But I haven't heard his script. And from now on, I won't say yes to any film without a narration. Bahut baar aisa kiya, pachtaya. Jaley ko phook-phook kar aage badhna hota hai (I did this many times. When you're burnt you sip very carefully). Even Ravi Chopraji I said yes to after the narration."

Gone are the days when Govinda would simply say yes to anyone who came to him with a project.

"I realize the script is of utmost importance. Ganesh is a dear friend. But before I say yes to him, I need to hear his script."
