David Dhawan: Partner 2 is ON, with Salman and Govinda

There was supposedly a big rift between Govinda and Salman Khan. It was believed that Govinda was hurt that instead of promoting his daughter Narmada, Salman Khan had gone all out in promoting Shatrughan Sinha’s daughter Sonakshi not just in Dabangg but also for his next movie ‘Kick’. It was also reported that Govinda may not work with Salman for Partner 2. But all this has turned out to be a mere rumor as director David Dhawan has announced that he is making Partner 2 with Govinda and Salman.

David has also decided to do away with any tense moments that both the actors have, by hosting a house party to celebrate the Govinda-Salman friendship.”And why just the Salman-Govinda friendship? It will be to celebrate the Salman-Govinda-David friendship. I get very disturbed when I hear about their so-called rift. Arrey yaar, both are far above such bickering. Look at Govinda’s track-record. He has been at the top for decades. As for Salman, with Dabangg he has proved he is beyond all competition. I hate to see people talking about two of my closest friends in this negative way. So yes a party celebrating Salman and Govinda’s friendship and my friendship with them seems a good idea,” says David emotionally.

David is a busy man at the moment. He stresses, “I’m committed to direct a film Rascals for Sanjay Dutt Productions from next month. Dutt is one of my oldest and closest friends. The first film I directed had Sanju in it. Then I’m committed to directing Partner 2 for Salman Khan and Govinda. So my career is devoted to friends.”

David’s younger son who was waiting in wings to be launched has found a mentor, not in his father, but in Karan Johar. The burly director says, “All I can tell you at the moment is that my elder son Rohit is directing his first film Desi Boyz and my younger son Varun is going to be an actor. I’d have liked to launch both in their respective careers. But I am committed to making films with my friends.” Rascals stars Ajay Devgn and Kangna Ranaut and will have the typical David Dhawan brand of the 90s which rocked big time. But will it work? David says, “Why not? Why open the car bonnet to check the motor when the vehicle is running just fine? When others are copying my style why should I move away from it?”
