In his discussion with **Mukesh Khanna**, he reiterated his claim that **James Cameron** had offered him **₹8 crore for Avatar**, but he declined the film. While this interview itself gained traction, an old clip of **Govinda from ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’** has also resurfaced, adding to the buzz around him.
## Govinda’s Conversation About ‘Partner’ and Salman Khan
On ‘The Kapil Sharma Show,’ Govinda shared some intriguing behind-the-scenes stories about the **2007 film ‘Partner’**, which also starred **Salman Khan**.

Govinda recalled a conversation with Salman Khan regarding **his appearance in ‘Partner’**. He jokingly mentioned how Salman was worried about working with him because of his reputation of overshadowing co-stars. Salman humorously responded,
**”Chi Chi Bhaiya, I have heard that whoever works with you, you overshadow them. So what should I do to make sure you don’t outshine me?”**
Govinda suggested that Salman work on his physique and grow his hair for a better **on-screen presence**. The next day, Salman took Govinda’s advice seriously and **abruptly disappeared**, focusing entirely on grooming his look.

**”You have stalled the entire project! Salman is now focusing on his physique, and the shoot is delayed for two months.”**
David Dhawan further added,
**”Govinda, can you guarantee that Salman’s hair will actually grow in time?”**
Govinda, slightly nervous, reassured David that the delay would ultimately benefit the movie, as Salman would come back looking even better. After almost **three months of waiting**, David Dhawan called Govinda again and admitted,
**”You were right, Govinda! Salman looks absolutely stunning. He is so handsome now!”**
For Govinda, Salman’s transformation not only **added value to the film but also strengthened their bond**.
