In 2007, a superhit film came out in which two superstars were cast. One received a fee of ten crore rupees and the other five crores. This story came into the discussion because the film writer talked about this. Actually writer Alok Upadhyay, who has worked in many films with filmmaker David Dhawan. He told about his film partner. This was a superhit film in which Salman Khan and Govinda were seen.
In a recent interview, Alok shared his experience of working with him in his partner. He told that David Dhawan is a director who does not tolerate the mistakes of actors. He wants to use every artist well in his films. His clear point remains that A-listers are actor, they have been given a hefty amount, so why not withdraw full and good performance.
David Dhawan’s partner
Alok said, “If the actor did not perform well, he would get nervous.” The writer also told that David always kept in mind how to take full advantage of Star Power in his films. When it comes to commercial films, he knows well how to work and how to get it done. From shooting to editing and other aspects work closely. He understands films well. Their purpose was always to make the film commercially better.
Salman Khan took ten and Govinda took 5 crores
Alok Upadhyay told about his work giving an example of David Dhawan’s partner film. How he was nervous during the film, he said that Salman Khan and Govinda were shooting for the song “Soni De Nakhre”. Then the choreographer set 2-3 long shots. Seeing which he became angry. But David Saheb did not find some things right and he came to me and said, ‘One actor is taking 10 crore rupees, the other is 5 crore rupees i.e. standing 15 crore rupees… So what do they want to see only feet. No, Govinda and Salman will have to take close up shoots.
My film will not run with a decoration of 10 rupees
According to Alok, David Dhawan did not like all this. He went to the choreographer and started explaining that my film is not going to run with a five -rupee flower pot and a decoration of Rs 10. These are two people worth Rs 15 crore. Take their close-shot. The film will run from them. Just after this, close shots of Salman-Govinda were taken.
