However, recent reports have sparked discussions about his potential foray into politics, marking a significant shift in his career trajectory.

According to sources, Govinda is contemplating a return to politics and is reportedly gearing up to reenter the political arena. Speculation is rife that he may contest elections this year from the North-West Mumbai Lok Sabha seat, with rumors suggesting he might do so on the ticket of Shiv Sena, a political ally of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. However, Govinda has not yet confirmed these reports, leaving room for anticipation and conjecture.

Govinda's previous foray into politics notably included contesting elections from the North Mumbai Lok Sabha seat on the Congress ticket in 2004, where he emerged victorious, defeating BJP veteran Ram Naik. This victory earned him the moniker of 'Giant Killer', signifying a remarkable shift in the political landscape of the region. North Mumbai, traditionally aligned with the BJP, witnessed a significant turnaround with Govinda's triumph, challenging the established political order.
