Know this rare and interesting fact about superstar Govinda

There was a time when Tigmanshu Dhulia commenced directing a comedy entitled Con Flick in London starring Govinda. This was in 2015 . Both the actor and the director, the latter an unabashed fan of the former, were most excited.

Then suddenly Govinda dropped out of the project. The reason was , Queen Elizabeth 2.

It seems Govinda refused to dance in the Buckingham Palace for the Queen.

Let me explain. This con caper set in London had a situation where Govinda and Celina Jaitley sneak into the Buckingham Palace and thereafter an elaborate song and dance followed in front of an actress, a doppelganger of Queen Elizabeth playing the Queen.

However when Govinda heard about this he refused reasoning, “I am a member of parliament in India. How can I dance in front of the Queen?”

Dhulia tried his best to convince Govinda that it was all for fun.But Govinda was adamant. The film had to be shelved.
