Govinda’s fans are in for a treat as the Bollywood actor is all set to make his big screen comeback soon! He announced his upcoming film ‘Roopa’ which marks Govinda’s comeback nearly seven years after
his last theatrical release. At a recent press conference, he spoke about the setbacks in his career, stating that despite being written off by people several times, he always bounced back. He also introduced his co-star and newcomer Rani Swarnkar, who is set to play the female lead in Roopa.
Govinda Announces Comeback Film Roopa
Govinda is not only starring in the film, but is also producing it. Speaking about returning to the big screen after nearly 7 years, he said, “Maybe it was destiny that I was written off so many times. People kept saying, ‘Now he won’t appear in films anymore.’ But I always started again. I pray to God that this film achieves what I have envisioned—something people may not even imagine—and works its magic.”
He further revealed that the film Roopa is especially for youngsters. “When they watch it in theatres, I hope it inspires them to dream and believe that those dreams can come true. Beyond that, I won’t speak about spirituality,” he said.
He also spoke about the significance of the number 14 in his life. “Number 14 has always been my lucky number. I believe in numerology, and even my name is based on it. I started believing in it when I was just 14 years old. By God’s grace, I signed 14 films in a single week, and that led to 14 years of superstardom. Later, I became a Member of Parliament in the 14th Lok Sabha. After that, I went through a 14-year struggle before returning to films. This time, however, I didn’t want to wait another five years. I told myself that I would start again. Now, I hope this marks the beginning of a new journey,” he said.
Govinda, who made his acting debut in 1986 with the film ‘Love 86’, has starred in over 120 films. After enjoying a successful run in the 1990s, Govinda’s appearances on the big screen became less frequent in the following decades. He was last seen on the big screen in the 2019 film Rangeela Raja, in which he played a double role. However, it failed to perform well.
