This actor made Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth wait for three days on set, would arrive late everyday due to..., the actor was... In late 80s and 90s, Govinda was considered one of the biggest stars in Bollywood. But as the actor garnered more and more success, stories of his lack of punctuality started making headlines. At one point, Govinda's tardiness crossed way too many boundaries, when he made Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth wait for three days on the sets of Hum . This shocking revelation was made by Vijay Patkar, who was part of Mukul Anand's film. Vijay who was an eyewitness, revealed that the entire crew and cast would arrive on time, but Govinda used to show up late, they were unable to film the desired shot. While speaking to Filmymntra Media, he shared, 'Director Mukul Anand wanted a sunrise shot with the whole family walking by. They couldn't shoot it for three days because Govinda wasn't on set. Rajinikanth, Bachchan saab were all on set. On the fourth day, the director requested him again and he came. All of them waited for him because he just wouldn't come.' Asking how the two superstars- Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth, would react to Govinda's tardy behaviour, Vijay recalled that they used to stay silent, 'They are all professionals so they sat there without any complaints. They came with the philosophy that I have allotted my date and time to the producer,' he shared. Vicky also revealed that he heard Big B used to pick Govinda from his house when the two collaborated for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. 'I have heard that during Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Bachchan saab would pick Govinda from his bungalow. He would come in his car, honk outside the gate and pick him,' he said. In an interview with Aaj Tak, Govinda recalled being 'scared' of Amitabh Bachchan when they started working in BMCM, 'People were also scaring me that he always comes on time. I said I can't (come on time) because I am tied up in so many movies,' he shared. Govinda then decided to have a word with Bachchan, 'I requested him that I hope this question does not arise that I don't come on time. Big B said, 'You call me and let me know what time are you coming. I don't have a problem and it is not my concern if anyone has a problem with your timings'. After this conversation, I signed that film,' he said.

Shahid Kapoor Avoided Scene Discussions On R... Rajkumar Until Prabhudeva Intervened
Last Updated: Shahid Kapoor reportedly had his manager receive scene briefings from director Prabhudeva for nearly a week during R... Rajkumar shoot. Before actors' entourages became the buzzword in Bollywood circles, some stars were already setting the tone for hierarchy on film sets. One such instance has now come to light through actor Vijay Patkar, who recently opened up about Shahid Kapoor's working style during the shoot of the 2013 action-comedy R… Rajkumar. In a candid conversation with Filmymntra Media, Patkar recalled how for the first seven days of filming, director Prabhudeva was forced to communicate with Shahid through his manager instead of speaking directly with the actor. 'Prabhudeva would narrate entire scenes to Shahid's manager, who would then relay them to Shahid. This went on for seven days straight," he revealed. The situation reportedly escalated to the point where the film's director had had enough. 'On the eighth day, Prabhudeva finally confronted Shahid and said, 'Should I continue directing your manager instead of you? How do I convey the nuances of a scene like this?' That's when the pattern stopped," Patkar said, adding that Shahid started engaging directly with the writers and the director after that intervention. Calling Prabhudeva an 'old-school technician," Vijay explained that such working dynamics didn't sit well with the choreographer-turned-director, who values direct collaboration over filtered communication. R… Rajkumar, which starred Shahid alongside Sonakshi Sinha and Sonu Sood, became a commercial success and delivered hit tracks like 'Gandi Baat" and 'Saree Ke Fall Sa." The film marked a turnaround for Shahid, who had previously seen a series of underperformers such as Dil Bole Hadippa, Chance Pe Dance, Phata Poster Nikla Hero, and Teri Meri Kahaani. Reflecting on that phase, Shahid once told Hindustan Times that R… Rajkumar gave him a much-needed sense of relief. 'Prabhudeva understands what makes people clap and whistle. He's clear about the entertainment he wants to deliver. This film is proof of that," he had said. While Shahid's post-R… Rajkumar choices—such as Haider and Udta Punjab—earned him critical acclaim, this anecdote serves as a reminder of the behind-the-scenes drama that often accompanies stardom in Bollywood.
