Bollywood actor Govinda, who was recently in the news for his divorce rumours with wife Sunita Ahuja, has once again made headlines for yet another claim surrounding his association with James Cameron’s magnum opus Avatar. After his 2019 statement about turning down the role, Govinda has now revealed the whopping amount he was offered to play Jake Sully in the 2009 film. 

Govinda was offered crores for Avatar

On Mukesh Khanna’s YouTube channel, Govinda stood by his statement of suggesting the title and revealed that he rejected the role since the character was lame. He recalled James telling him, "‘I am offering you 18 crores.’ I said, ‘I don’t want your 18 crores.` He said the shoot would be for 410 days. I said that is okay, but if I paint my body, I will be in the hospital!"
