Govinda is in a state of shock. The actor had taken the onus of convincing a prominent leading lady of Bollywood to pair up with him for a special cameo in his forthcoming film Life Partner and had hoped his Tinseltown friends Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif would agree to play this small but significant part. But when he approached them, both parties gave him the thumbs down citing date issues.
Apparently due to the actor's flagging star-power, the actresses turned down a special cameo in his next film.
We hear that Govinda is a little upset and sources close to the film say a small role coupled with the actor's flagging fortunes as a star might have not excited the B-Town girls.
A source close to the film says, "Since it was a special cameo where the heroine was required to play the part in 3-4 scenes and appear in a song, Govinda thought he would request Katrina as both Katrina and Salman Khan are very good friends. But Govinda was shocked when Katrina cited date issues and could not do the promotional song."
The insider adds, "Govinda then approached Lara for the cameo and she too turned him down because she was busy. Lara and Kat have worked with him before and he didn't expect that he would face a dead end with them. After two debacles, he was shattered that his friends were not there for him and tamely asked the director Rumi Jaffery to cast whoever he wants to as he can't do the needful."
That's when the producers thought it was time to step in and salvage the situation. They quickly zeroed in on Amrita Rao to do the song. Rumi confirms, "Yes, Amrita Rao has shot with us for three days including a song and it has turned out really well."
Govinda remained unavailable for comment.
