‘Akshaye Khanna heroine le jata hai’: Subhash Ghai recalls Govinda’s reason for REJECTING ‘Taal’

Filmmaker Subhash Ghai revealed Govinda was initially offered the lead in ‘Taal’ but refused, fearing he’d only be a character actor as Akshaye Khanna would get the girl. Ghai then cast Anil Kapoor, whose performance later impressed Danny Boyle, leading to ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. The film, starring Aishwarya Rai, was a hit.
