Upen shakes a leg with Govinda

The bigger the stars, the more humble they are. It was the time for Govinda, one of the most popular stars of recent times to play the perfect co-star. He helped the non-dancer Upen Patel to do the right steps and also to match with him. Upen Patel who was very excited to have danced with none other than Govinda was made perfectly comfortable by him. The dance was for the promotional music video for their upcoming film ‘Money Hai Toh Honey Hai’. The film is directed by Ganesh Acharya and has Manoj Bajpai, Celina Jaitley, Aftab Shivdashani , Hansika Motwani and others in the casting crew.

Upen who has done only four films and a non-dancer admits that he was very nervous on hearing that he will have to dance with Govinda. But with Govinda around it seems that nobody can stay nervous. The song for which both the actors danced is very speedy and catchy; the dance track is being done by Nitish-Soni who is new in the business. Ganesh Acharya who is the director of the film is a popular choreographer first. His first direction was ‘Swami’ which starred Manoj Bajpai and Juhi Chawla and was major box office failure. Upen finds Govinda a very warm human being. Govinda who is in the film industry for decades is mainly known for his excellent dancing skills. Both Govinda and Ganesh as a choreographer have done many films together and this is Govinda’s first film under the direction of Ganesh Acharya.
