After his falling-out with one-time saviour Salman Khan, Govinda has found a new friend to latch on to. Suniel Shetty is the latest recipient of all of Govinda’s praise, and why not, since the former is bankrolling one of the few projects Govinda has in his kitty: Loot. The buzz from the Loot sets is that Chi Chi ensures that Suniel and he spend plenty of quality time together once their shoot for the day wraps up. But Suniel is vocal about the fact that he certainly admires Chi Chi. “He is an amazing actor, and more importantly, a good human being. When I approached Govinda for the film, he asked me, ‘Kab se shuru karna hai (when do I start from?)’”
Our sources tell us that Govinda has been making frequent trips to Suniel’s office. “Govinda has a tendency to get very emotional about people who offer him work,” says an aide. “Earlier it was Salman, now it is Suniel.”
Govinda’s supporters however, claim that the actor has always held Suniel in high regard. Whatever the truth, hope the equation sustains.
