During the enormously delayed Jagga Jasoos and the heated exchanges between Rishi Kapoor and Anurag Basu, one didn’t pay much attention to when Govinda walked in and out of the project. His angry tweets about the ‘irresponsible director’ were quickly forgotten. But the veteran actor has spoken up again, this time revealing more details about why he quit the film.

Thank you Rishi sir. At last you showed concern. Good blood never speaks wrong... If I had said something, it would have been perceived as a complaint. They did what they thought was right and I didn’t want to interfere. I am not here to fight.

Govinda, Actor (as reported by <a href="http://www.bombaytimes.com/govinda-thank-you-rishi-sir-at-last-you-showed-concern-good-blood-never-speaks-wrong/articleshow/59739224.cms">Bombay Times</a>)

Govinda’s angry tweets had hinted at the project being all over the place, and were probably a plea to Rishi Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor to take matters in their own hands.

The actor thanked Rishi Kapoor in a recent interview for showing his concern about the film, at last.

But, he’s taking the Jagga Jasoos experience in his stride and is still open to the idea of working with Anurag Basu in the future.

If Anurag offers me a film again, I might still do it as we all are professionals. But this was petty and I no longer get affected by all this as I have seen this kind of behaviour for a while now. I don’t want to wallow in self-pity, but when you are going through a rough patch, you tend to get used to this. My bungalow is close to (Manmohan) Shetty <i>saab</i>’s in Juhu. So many filmy parties happen there, but no celeb even bothers to say hello to me. <i>Log mujhe dekh kar avoid karte hain.</i> <i>Har kisi ka time hota hai.</i> I am content with the fact that the public still likes me and mobs me wherever I go. That is what I have earned over the years.

Govinda

Ouch. Controversies do not seem to leave this project, do they?
