Govinda makes his comeback

16 Jul - After a nearly seven years of hiatus since "Rangeela Raja," Govinda announced that he is making a comeback with a new movie.

Sharing the news at a press conference recently, the Bollywood actor unveiled the first poster of the movie, which is titled "Roopa" and said that this is the first time he is doing a film that is "heroine-oriented".

"All the heroines who have worked with me, I have given them at least half a dozen hit films. I pray to God that I get at least half a dozen hit films with Rani as well," he said, as he introduced the movie's lead actress, Rani Swarankar.

Speaking about the movie, the actor, who is also producing the film, said that it is made with a young audience in mind.

"Roopa is a suspense drama. Since I am working in it, there will be comedy as well. This film is especially for youngsters. When they watch it in theatres, I hope it inspires them to dream and believe that those dreams can come true," he added.

Nonetheless, Govinda said that they have yet to sign a director for the film.

"We have everything ready that's required - screenplay, dialogues and music. Now we need a person who is educated about all these things," he added.
