Hollywood UPS film shooting stars Interviews Now, a new desi twist after Govinda claimed he refused Rs 18 crore for Avatar role

Bollywood superstar Govinda recently claimed that he was offered James Cameron's Hollywood blockbuster Avatar for Rs 18 crore.

In an interview, he cleared the air that he had once come up with a project titled Avatar which had absolutely no connection to Hollywood's namesake. One of the most intriguing aspects of Govinda’s career is his claim of being approached for Avatar, a film that went on to become a Hollywood blockbuster. In an interview with veteran actor Mukesh Khanna on his YouTube channel, Govinda recalled meeting James Cameron through a businessman in the US. He claimed that he suggested the title Avatar to Cameron and was offered Rs 18 crore for the role.
