Govinda refuses to dance before the Queen



February 11th, 2009

Govinda's whims never cease to amaze us. Recently, while shooting for a song and dance sequence in London for Tigmanshu Dhulia's Con Flick, he created yet another furore.

A unit source revealed, Con Flick's very first day of shooting was in front of the Buckingham Palace. The entire unit had assembled there, waiting for Govinda. But just when he arrived and took a look around, he declared he would not shoot at that location!"

And this is what Govinda had to say "I am a Member of Parliament from the ruling party of our country and it would not be right for me to dance in front of England's Queen."

When Dhulia tried to convince Govinda that the Queen may perhaps not be in there, he argued back, asking, what if she peeped out from a window?

Dhulia didn't know whether to laugh or howl at Govinda's reply! But then since Govinda was in no mood to comply, Dhulia was left with no option but to shift the shoot elsewhere.

Last time while shooting in London Govinda had left the shoot midway over some argument. There were also portions of the Queen's lookalike that Govinda insisted on being deleted from the film.

Con Flick stars Celina Jaitley and Rimi Sen opposite Govinda who plays a smooth talking conman in the film.
