How can Varun Dhawan be like me, wonders Govinda

Actor-comedian Govinda wonders why people keep trying to draw comparisons between him and young actor Varun Dhawan.

Varun, due to his naughty and flirtatious portrayals in most of his films, is often called the new-age Govinda.

However, Govinda thinks the comparison is a “fake one”.

“Ranveer Singh and Varun Dhawan both have a body like Salman Khan. But they can’t say it. If they call themselves as Salman Khan, then they won’t get films. They can’t afford to be against Khan. This is how the filmy world works,” Govinda said at an event here on Thursday for the movie “Aa Gaya Hero”.

“How can he (Varun) be like me? To become Govinda, he needs to be innocent, uneducated and a poor village boy. Varun is already a son of a director. In the last six years, he hasn’t done more than two films with his father, whereas I did 17 films with his father (David Dhawan),” he added.
