Govinda reached the set 3 days late: Shooting of 'Hero No. 1' was going on in Switzerland, completed 70% of the songs in one day

Superstar Govinda was at the peak of his career in the 90s. There are many such stories when actors used to reach the set 5 to 10 hours late. One such incident was shared by famous producer Vashu Bhagnani in an interview. He told that once he was shooting in Switzerland and Govinda reached the set after 3 days.

In an interview given to YouTuber Raunak Kotecha, the producer said, 'Whatever people say about Govinda, my track record with him has been very good. His behavior has always been good towards me. Even if he came late on the set by one or two hours, he always completed the work.

I asked Govinda – Are you coming or should we come back?
In the interview, Vashu shared an anecdote related to the film 'Hero No. 1'. Vashu told- 'We were shooting the film 'Hero No. 1' in Switzerland with a unit of 75 people.

Govinda had not reached there otherwise we were waiting for him. After waiting for him for 3 days, I called him and said, 'If you don't come, we will come back.' He got upset and said that I am coming.

The makers shot the film's song 'Sona Kitna Sona' in Switzerland.

Shaved at petrol pump and gave first shot at 7:30 in the morning: Vashu
Vashu further said- 'Next day Govinda landed in Switzerland at 6 in the morning. I went to receive him at the airport. We sat together in the van but there was no conversation between us for 15 minutes. After this he said that I have to shave.

Now, no salon was open so early in the morning, so I bought a razor and took it to the petrol pump. There he shaved in the washroom and at 7:30 in the morning he gave his first shot. The surprising thing is that he did not come for 3 days but he shot 70% of the song in a single day. It was very appreciative.

With earnings of Rs 30 crore, 'Hero No. 1' was the seventh highest-grossing film of 1997.

Vashu said that if someone suffers a loss then he should complain but when the final result is good then nothing else matters.

On the work front, the film 'Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan', made under the banner of Vashu, is going to be released in theaters on April 10. Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff will be seen in lead roles in this film.
