LARA AND KATRINA REJECTS GOVINDA

Akshay and Katrina are such good friends that Katrina decided to be his arm candy in De Dana Dan. Though, she doesn’t share the same equation with her Partner co-star Govinda.

Govinda has had two flop films, Chal Chala Chal and Money Hain Toh Honey Hain. His last hit was Partner in 2007.

Apparently, he has high prospect from Life Partner which is produced by Abbas Mustan and directed by Rumi Jaffrey. He is the only senior member in the cast that consist of Fardeen Khan, Tusshar Kapoor, Genelia D’Souza and Prachi Desai. All these actors don’t have star power as such. So for a promotional song, Govinda tried to his power and contacts to rope in Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif but they both refused. The two actresses appeared on Koffee with Karan together and were last seen with Chi Chi in Partner. Also, Govinda is a good friend of Salman. He thought Katrina would agree because of the Salman connection but she refused citing date issues. Over the past month, she was busy with New York promotions, post production for Ajab Prem Ki Ghajab Kahani, a few support events and then she left for Europe to celebrate her birthday. Katrina has never done item songs, anyway. She wants to be seen as a stern actress so why would she do item songs?

Lara Dutta who has also done the upcoming Do Knot Disturb and Banda yeh Bindaas Hai with Chi Chi refused citing date problems. She is presently in London shooting for Sajid Khan’s Housefull. The last item song Lara did was Aisa Jadoo Daala Re in Rajkumar Santoshi’s Khakee in 2004. It was a big hit. She was also part of Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi as no smart person would refuse SRK and YRF. The song is quite admired.

Since these ladies refused the song, they had to rope in wannabe hottie Amrita Rao of Shortkut (fame?) to do the item number. The music of Life Partner is not a rage at all.

What can we say, Govinda’s career is on the downslide and no one wants to work with a fallen star. And everybody isn’t as lucky and powerful as Shah Rukh Khan to get three stars for three different item songs as he did with Kareena, Priyanka and Deepika in Billu. Our advice to Chi Chi would be to do more films with David Dhawan and Salman Khan and lose some weight to get his career back on track.
