Filmmaker Priyadarshan recently recalled how he had one strict condition before casting actor Govinda in the 2006 comedy Bhagam Bhag. Known for his impeccable comic timing but also a reputation for arriving late to film sets, Govinda’s punctuality was a concern for the director when he considered him for the project.

Priyadarshan's condition for Govinda

In a recent interview, Priyadarshan shared that he was initially hesitant about offering the role to Govinda because of the actor’s long standing reputation for being late to shoots. The director said that the issue had caused difficulties for many producers and filmmakers in the past, and he did not want similar problems during the making of Bhagam Bhag.
