Govinda has confirmed that he has opted out of Vikas Bahl directed Shandaar. Citing monetary reasons, the actor, who was in Australia doing a show, spoke over the phone, “I was supposed to do the film, but woh nahi ho paya. Mera hisaab kitaab jama nahi. (It did not happen as I had issues regarding the remuneration)” Govinda was to play Alia Bhatt’s father in the film starring Shahid Kapoor in the lead. This would be Bahl’s next after the successful Kangana Ranuat-starrer Queen.
Meanwhile, Govinda plans to announce two new films that he hopes will take off soon
