Actor Vicky Kaushal and filmmaker Karan Johar announced on Wednesday, November 16, that their first venture together, Govinda Naam Mera, will have a direct OTT release. The film was initially scheduled to release in theatres on June 11, 2022. However, it was halted and now it is set to release on Disney+ Hotstar soon.
The actor-director duo took to social media and released a fun video talking about the film and announcing the same. In the video, Johar is seen pitching the script of Govinda Naam Mera to Kaushal, who is not quite convinced about the protagonist’s role.

“Ladies & gentlemen, @vickykaushal09 seems to have chosen...#FunVicky! Buckle up, you don’t want to be missing this ride!🍿 #GovindaNaamMera coming soon, only on Disney+ Hotstar. #GovindaNaamMeraOnHotstar” wrote Johar on Instagram sharing the promo video.
Johar calls Kaushal a “firecracker entertainer” but says that he always portrays “intense” characters such as commandos, freedom fighters, and quoting from his debut film Masaan, Johar asks “dukh tera khatam hi nahi hota (your pain seems to be never ending).” Kaushal responds that he might have done all serious kinds of roles, but they had a wide range and Johar agrees. However, Johar tries to convince him for a ‘masaaledar’ film and says, “Masaale mein bhi range hai, (there is a range in commercial films also) I want to see #FunVicky.”
Narrating the plotline of Govinda Naam Mera, Johar start, “There is a character called Govinda…” but he is promptly interrupted by Kaushal’s question “Biopic? Govinda? Chi Chi?” However, Johar continues, “Chee Chee, biopic kaun banata hai? It’s so done now,” and continues how it is the story of a background dancer who has lots of debts to pay off or his house will be snatched away from him. His wife has an extramarital affair and also beats him, but, the only good thing in his life is he has a girlfriend and he gets to romance in the Mumbai rains.

However, by the end of Johar’s narration, Kaushal is not convinced and that’s when the filmmaker offers him another option: Student of The Year 3. Looks like Kaushal chose the former option.
Directed by Shashank Khaitan and produced under the banner of Dharma Productions, the film also stars Kiara Advani and Bhumi Pednekar.
