The Govinda magic is back...now with laugh-riot DO KNOT DISTURB. Also starring Ritesh Deshmukh, Lara Dutta and Sushmita Sen DO KNOT DISTURB is directed by No. 1 entertainment director David Dhawan. In conversation with the King of Comedy...GovindaWhat is the story of DO KNOT DISTURB?
The film is about this filthy-rich businessman who is married to a beautiful and sophisticated female but he falls in love with a supermodel and the seeks help from a friend and then lots of twist and turns takes place. It is an out and out comedy film directed by David Dhawana and produced by Vashu Bhagnani.
It's been long for you to work with Vashu Bhagnani...
Yeah, it's been quiet a long now. It's been nearly 10 years when we came up with BADE MIYAAN CHOTE MIYAAN and it really did well at box-office. Prior to it I did films like COOLIE NO.1 and HERO NO.1 and both were big hits. And indeed DO KNOT DISTURB will be a super success.
Sushmita Sen is one of the lead female actor in the film. Rumors are going round that all's not well between you both and that was clearly visible during the shoot. How far is it true?
You rightly quoted that these are rumors. There is no truth in it. We have worked together earlier also and audience has appreciated our pair.
The other female lead actor is Lara Dutta...
She plays my love interest in the film. She has done a fabulous job and I have worked with her in PARTNER too. She is a great person to work with.
You are known for comedy genre. How different is this movie from your past flicks?
It is complete different film. Punches and presentation plays a very important role in comedy genre because they hold the capacity to add a new flavor to the subject. Perhaps, this film is different and I ensure not even for one minute people can control their laughter in the film.
Ritesh has titled you as ''King of comedy''. How was working with him?
I know him since he was a kid. I have seen his work in films like HEYY BABYY and MASTI. He has great and authentic comedy timing and masters in it. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him.
Your lined up film also includes Maniratnam's RAVAN. Tell us something about it.
I play 'Lakshman' in the film. I always wanted to work with Mani Sir and with this film my dream has come true.
To believe the sequel of PARTNER has been announced. When is it hitting the floors?
David (Dhawan) and Salman (Khan) are pre-occupied with many projects and therefore, delay is happening.
Even your daughter Narmada is planning to enter Glam-world. When is it happening?
She is too young now and yes, she is planning, waiting for appropriate and pat subject for her.
