I haven’t been signed for Partner sequel, clarifies Govinda

There have been a lot of speculations around a sequel to the Salman Khan and Govinda starrer blockbuster film, Partner. Reports claim that the second instalment of the film will not be helmed by David Dhawan and the directorial baton will be passed on to actor-producer Sohail Khan, while Salman Khan and Govinda return to essay their characters. However, Govinda has clarified that he has not been approached for the film.

"There is a lot of speculation but I haven’t been finalised for the sequel. I have to make that clear because I don’t lie,” the actor said.


“When I quit politics 10 years ago, I found Partner and neither the makers nor my fans have forgotten the film. I guess it’s because of the humour and the honesty which shines through,” he added.

The actor said that when he started his career, he did not have the support of big production houses. “I did not have the support of big banners then. I tried my hand at politics without much success. Even as a producer things didn’t work out and I got left behind in the race. I guess it was destiny,” he said.

The actor celebrates his 54 birthday today.
