In an interview with Cyrus Broacha, Ad guru Prahlad Kakkar reveled that during one of the film’s shoot Govinda reached on sets not 1 or 2 but 48 hours late. Recalling the incident, Prahlad stated they were shooting for a film in Hyderabad. Govinda who was in Srinagar promised Prahlad that he will reach on time. When Prahlad asked him how will he reach on time as he doesn’t even have a flight booked for Hyderabad the actor assured that he will drive and come. Prahlad stated the drive from Srinagar to Hyderabad is just 8 hours and hence the crew was all ready for the actor. But the actor took 48 hours to reach to Hyderabad from Srinagar, thus causing delay in the shooting schedule.
