Govinda talks about his journey in Bollywood
He said, "At times, life comes to a standstill. Aap kitna bhi acchi planning kar lijiye, aap kitne acchi dialogue likhwa lijiye, gaane karwa lijiye, par woh kamiyab tab hote hain jab ek mahoul taiyaar hota hain (No matter how good a planning you do, or make promising the script or lyrics or dialogues, a film won't be successful when the environment is right)."

We think that we are born once, but we are fortunate to be born again and again. Kahi kahi lekh aaya ki, 'Govinda gaya, Govinda gaya.' Maine socha chalo ek picture shuru karte hai (There were some articles that said, 'Govinda's time is up.' I thought, let's produce a movie). I started Aa Gaya Hero. Before that, I met David Dhawan, and he suggested that let's make a film with Sohail. The hero would be Salman. That's how Partner came up,"
For the unversed, one of Govinda's most popular movies is the 2007 romantic comedy Partner, directed by David Dhawan and produced by Sohail Khan and Parag Sanghvi. Inspired by the 2005 Hollywood film Hitch, Partner featured an ensemble cast including Salman Khan, Lara Dutta, and Katrina Kaif.
