Vashu Bhagnani on Govinda overshadowing Amitabh Bachchan in BMCM

In an interview with Connect FM Canada, producer Vashu Bhagnani was asked if he felt that Govinda overshadowed Big B in the film. In response to this, he agreed and recalled what Big B once told him privately. He said, “Yes, that’s correct. The whole world used to say this, and if the whole world felt this way, who am I to say otherwise? But the fact is that if Amit Ji wasn’t in the film, Govinda wouldn’t have had the opportunity to shine like he did. It was because of Amit ji that Govinda garnered more appreciation.”

Recalling his conversation with Big B, the veteran producer shared that once Amitabh Bachchan said, ‘Yaar maidaan agar khol do hum dono dekhte hain kya hoga (Level the playing field, and then we’ll see what happens).’ However, there is no comparison between Big B and Govinda as both have their own style.

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan will hit theaters on April 10.
