Govinda took everybody by surprise when he revealed that he was offered a role in Hollywood blockbuster Avatar. He also said that he suggested the title ‘Avatar’ to director James Cameron.
Govinda turned down the movie because he did not want to shoot for 410 days with paint on the body.
“I gave the title of the film. It turned out to be a super hit film. I had informed him that the film would do really well. I told him that I felt it would take seven years for him to complete the film. That infuriated him. He asked, ‘How can you be so sure that I won’t be able to make Avatar for seven years?’ I told him that what he was imagining was something almost impossible. And as predicted by me, the film released 8 or 9 years later and was a super-hit,” the actor at a talk show.
