Pahlaj Nihalani, the former CFBC chairperson who had a controversial tenure, is back into the role of a filmmaker with his favourite leading man Govinda as they completed the shooting of a new film.
Giving details of the project Nihalani said, “It is titled ‘Rangeela Raja’ and it’s an out-and-out comedy. But comedy of a kind never attempted by Govinda before. Unlike the streetwise comic characters, Govinda is famous for, he plays a very sophisticated character in ‘Rangeela Raja’.”
In the film shot in Karjat on the outskirts of Mumbai, Govinda has multiple roles.
It’s been 31 years since Nihalani launched Govinda in Ilzaam.
“I feel Govinda is starting all over again with ‘Rangeela Raja’,” he said, adding that “Govinda has never been more suave in any of his films”.
Three debutante heroines are being introduced with Govinda in the film.
