In a podcast interview with Maniesh Paul, Govinda shared a throwback story about his signing spree. He said, "Main film line mein kahan aaya, mujhe film line thamai gayi thi. Upar wale ne film line di thi ki bhaiyya is sambhaliye (I didn't enter the film industry; God handed over the responsibility to manage it)." He recalled a chat with late veteran actor Dilip Kumar , who advised him to drop 25 of the 75 films he had signed. Govinda replied that he had already taken the signing amount and asked, "Main paise lautaunga kaise." However, the veteran actor convinced him to return the signing amount, assuring him that God would help make it happen. Govinda took his advice and dropped the 25 films.
