The
comedy
that
Govinda
is
currently
shooting
in
London
with
Jagmohan
Mundhra
has
got
a
title.
The
film
is
called
Excuse
Me,
Please.
Remember
the
notorious
song
'Sarakaiya
Lo
Khatiya
Jada
Lage'
that
Govinda
'performed'
with
Karisma
Kapoor
in
Raja
Babu
14
years
ago.
Govinda
who's
shooting
a
full-on
desi
bindaas
What
interests
Govinda
in
this
project
and
would
hopefully
interest
his
hardcore
fans
is
his
return
to
a
raunchy
risque
realm
which
many
thought
he
had
left
behind.
"Why
should
I
leave
it
behind?
I
am
what
I
am
today
because
of
those
films
with
David
Dhawan
like
Hero
No.1
and
Raja
Babu.
I
am
not
ashamed
of
'Sarkaiyo
Lo'.
At
the
time
when
it
was
filmed,
I
said
sorry
because
it
offended
some
people.
But
going
by
what's
permissible
on
screen
today,
I'd
say
me
and
Karisma
did
nothing
harmful."
In
Mundhra's
film,
Govinda
plays
a
commitment-phobic
nerd
who
wants
sex
but
no
marriage.
"It
has
earlier
been
touched
on
in
Akshaye
Khanna's
character
in
Nikhil
Advani's
Salaam-e-Ishq.
All
of
us
want
the
perks
of
a
relationship
with
the
opposite
sex
including
sex.
But
no
youngster
wants
to
be
tied
down
with
marriage."
Elaborates
Govinda,
"I
sat
down
with
my
director
Jagmohan
Mundhra
and
discussed
the
script.
I
don't
think
the
original
material
would've
worked
in
our
context.
We've
altered
the
subject
to
make
it
a
comment
on
the
young
NRI
generation
in
England
which
gets
a
liberal
chance
to
mix
with
the
fair
sex
of
all
nationalities.
But
when
it
comes
to
saying
'I
Do'
they
all
run
the
other
way.
In
this
way,
I'll
be
putting
across
a
social
message
through
the
raunchy
laughter.
I've
always
done
that
in
my
films."
The
challenge
for
Govinda
in
Mundhra's
project
is
to
put
across
the
message
and
comment
on
the
atmosphere
of
sex-with-no-strings-attached
without
losing
the
balance.
"Dekhiye
sex
is
an
integral
part
of
the
film.
So
it
will
be
sexy.
I
feel
nothing
done
in
moderation
is
wrong.
That's
what
we
say
in
the
film.
Let's
see
how
it
goes.
We
hope
to
wrap
up
the
principal
shooting
by
June
19,
and
then
I
go
straight
to
my
new
film
for
Vashu
Bhagnani
and
David
Dhawan.
So
I'm
in
London
with
my
family
for
the
next
few
months."
London
is
a
city
that
relaxes
Govinda.
"And
look
at
the
irony.
While
a
man
like
Jagmohan
Mundhra
whose
last
two
films
dealt
with
serious
social
issues,
is
taking
me
back
to
the
'Sarkayee
Lo
Khatiya'
days,
David's
film
will
be
a
departure
from
what
we've
done
so
far."
Either
way
Govinda
is
happy.
"I've
never
felt
better.
All
my
financial
debts
are
cleared.
I've
lost
loads
of
weight
and
I've
four
films
ready
for
release."
