When he’s on set he pours his heart into his work. He becomes so engrossed in what hes doing that I often wonder where he finds all that energy. Comedy is inherently challenging yet he would shoot 5-6 films a day dedicating 2-3 hours to each one. He went on to say that there was a time when Govinda could easily deliver comedy amidst a hectic schedule. Not only in comedy but also in dance he was exceptional. “Aadmi beemar pad jata hai thak jata hai  Uss beech main kabhi kabaar unke ghar jaya karta tha kabhi unhein typhoid ho gaya hota kabhi kuch. Yet he would always rise return to work and shoot fight scenes as if nothing happened. He is genuinely a hardworking individual.” Johnny Lever expressed “I always enjoyed working with him. In my opinion among all the actors who engage in comedy Govindas timing is the best. While Akshay Kumar has also significantly improved his comic timing in recent years Govinda is on another level entirely.” Govindas Breaks on Set When asked about his favorite collaborations with Govinda Johnny Lever mentioned films like ‘Deewana Mastana’ and ‘Joroo Ka Ghulam.’ He recalled the exhausting shooting schedules noting that Govinda would sometimes take breaks between shots to regain his energy.
