Pahlaj tells that Rangeela Raja was a remake of Rajinikanth’s film and Govinda had done a brilliant job in it. He said- ‘In my opinion, he did a better job than Rajinikanth and I was sure that he would win some awards. But just before the release of the film, he went to the press and started whining about being sidelined in the industry and blamed Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan for this. My shows were canceled at the last minute and now he is sitting at home.
David Dhawan caused rift between Govinda and Pahlaj
