“Everyone was a stand-up comedian on set…..” – director Shashank Khaitan on the cast for Govinda Naam Mera

Jointly produced by Viacom18 Studios & Dharma Productions, Govinda Naam Mera will release exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar on 16th December

With a twisted love story, dramatic life, and ultimate chaos, will Govinda prove to be the underdog who emerges through this victorious circle? Exploring the happy-go-lucky life of Govind A Waghmare (Vicky Kaushal), a struggling choreographer, the comedy thriller takes viewers on a roller coaster ride of laughter, romance, and thrill. Wedged between his marriage with Gauri (Bhumi Pednekar) and love for his girlfriend, Suku (Kiara Advani), the three actors come together for an unconventional love triangle with dramatic turns and twists.

People that leave you in splits should be kept close to the heart. The cast of Govinda Naam Mera could be eligible to gain the status of a stand-up group, that constantly kept each other’s spirits high, throughout the shoot. All of this is thanks to Director Shashank Khaitan that allowed creative inputs from his actors, especially during comedy scenes. This amalgamation helped create perfect shots for the movie, making the comedy scenes even funnier.

Shashank says, “I have always believed that everyone has a creative side and as a director I think it's only fair that I allow that creative flow and take bits that could help the film. Luckily, each of the actors involved have their own quirks and their own ingenious methodologies. Not a single moment went by without somebody randomly laughing during the comic scenes. The whole set would resonate with laughter and I sincerely believe that each of them could be a stand-up comedian on their own accord for the number of jokes they crack!”

Disney+ Hotstar will release this year’s biggest comedy thriller, Govinda Naam Mera, jointly produced by Viacom18 Studios & Dharma Productions. Presenting Bollywood star Vicky Kaushal in an all-new avatar, the complete family entertainer has been written and directed by Shashank Khaitan and produced by Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Shashank Khaitan. Also starring Bhumi Pednekar and Kiara Advani, the mass entertainer will release exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar on 16th December, to kickstart the holiday season.
