Govinda's Raavan Early Bird Tale: Mani Ratnam's Hilarious Jab
10 Aug
Summary
- Govinda humorously recalled Ratnam's playful jab about his punctuality.
- His wife Sunita encouraged him to take on the unconventional 'Raavan' role.
- He arrived on set daily between 3 and 4 am for the film.

Actor Govinda recently shared anecdotes from his time working on Mani Ratnam's 2010 film, 'Raavan.' Contrary to expectations, his extreme punctuality—arriving on set as early as 3 or 4 am—did not earn him praise but rather a witty observation from the director.
Mani Ratnam playfully commented that Govinda "doesn't look good when he's on time," a humorous acknowledgment of the actor's over-eagerness. Govinda also revealed that his wife, Sunita Ahuja, was instrumental in his decision to take on the unconventional role, encouraging him to break away from his established film formula.
Govinda, known for his versatility across genres and over 165 films, is set to star in his upcoming movie, 'Roopa,' marking his return to the big screen. He made his acting debut in 1986 with 'Ilzaam.'
