It was back in the years of 90's when David Dhawan bought Bade Miyan Chote Miyan led by Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda. A cult classic film that gained immense poularity for it's unwavering action-comical storyline. For much of the commoner's belief, it was Govinda in the film that had been the ultimate showrunner as he had always been known for his perfect sarcastic characters. During a recent interview, it's producer Vashu Bhagnani was asked about the same to which he seemed to agree on the statement and threw light on the same. 

While answering the question, he said it's totally true as the whole world use to refer about the same thing. "Yes, that’s correct. The whole world used to say this, and if the whole world felt this way, who am I to say otherwise? But the fact is that if Amit Ji wasn’t in the film, Govinda wouldn’t have had the opportunity to shine like he did. It was because of Amit ji that Govinda garnered more appreciation," his words followed. Continuing further, he recalled the words stated by Amitabh Bachchan who said, "I shouldn’t say this openly, but one day, Amit ji said, ‘Yaar maidaan agar khol do hum dono dekhte hain kya hoga." Continuing ahead with him statement he said, "But Amit Ji has a different sophistication, and Govinda had his own style. Together, the pair was too good. They could just stand silently and the job would be done."
