Govinda left the set to pick his wife at the airport, but didn't return for 4 days, says his co-star Shehzad Khan: 'David Dhawan knew how to work around....'

Govinda is often known to be late on his film sets. The actor is known for his moods and how he would turn up late on the set for hours. Earlier, many film-makers and producers have spoken about him. Infact, many also have attributed his downfall in the industry to this. In a recent interview, Govinda's co-star from ' Bade Miyan Chote Miyan ' has recalled an incident that happened on the sets of this David Dhawan movie.
The actor said in an interview with Bollywood Thikana, "I have a lot of stories. We were shooting at Ramoji one day, and Chi Chi asked David Dhawan if he could go and receive his wife at the airport. The airport is a little while away from the studio, and David ji gave him permission to go, but told him to return immediately. He left, but didn’t return. In the evening, David ji received a call from him saying that he was in Mumbai. He said that he’d return the following day."
He further praised David Dhawan for working with Govinda in so many movies and dealing with him. Khan said, "You have to hand it to David saab. He knew how to work around these hiccups. The shoot didn’t stop at all, even though Govinda wasn’t there. He returned four days later.”
In an earlier interview with Mashabale India, Anees Bazmee had also spoken about Govinda being late on the set and said, "It isn’t news or a shock to me that Govinda will come late. I will get a shock if he comes on time, and he doesn’t give me those kinds of shocks. So, since I know that he will come at 12 pm for a 9 am shoot, I complete other tasks by then so that I don’t waste my time. Tuning with the actor is very important."
