Govind Namdev is currently riding high on the success of his recent release, ‘OMG 2.’ The actor, known for playing negative roles in films like Shola Aur Shabnam or Bhool Bhulaiya 2, opened up about how his role was axed from his debut film.

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the actor shared that he got a role in the Dilip Kumar and Raaj Kumar starrer Saudagar with the help of his friend Anupam Kher, who was also a part of the film, but his role was later chopped due to the film’s long runtime. The film also starred Amrish Puri, Manisha Koirala, and Jackie Shroff.
