There are some iconic actors who've never shared screen-space, with their fans still harbouring dreams of one day seeing them together in a movie. Two such legends are Govinda and Kajol, who, despite being at their peak during the 90s when actors would do multiple films simultaneously, never came together on the big screen. That being said, we bet you didn't know that the two almost shared screen space, with the photoshoot also been done for the film, but sadly, it never took off. The revelation comes straight from the horse's mouth, with Kajol not only disclosing this insane trivia to BollywoodLife in an exclusive interview, but also revealing the name of the movie and who was supposed to direct it.

Dropping the bomb, Kajol said, “No, I didn't work with him (Govinda) because that picture never got made. That picture was to be made, but unfortunately never took off. It was shut down after the photoshoot (a customary shoot done with the lead actors before a movie goes on floors). Not even a single day of shooting was done.” Also Read - Govinda REVEALS he is no longer pious; says, 'I have become more corrupt and bitter'
When egged on to let us in on the name of the film, she went a step further and confessed, “It was called Junglee and was to be made by Rahul Rawail (who had directed Sunny Deol in two of his early hits, Betaab and Arjun). He was supposed to be the director of the film. We had done a photoshoot for a day, somewhere near a river, but that was it.” Also Read - Indian Idol 2020: Shakti Kapoor asks Shraddha Kapoor to give contestant, Shanmukha Priya, a chance to sing in her film
Opening up on the prospect of Govinda and her ever acting together in future, the Tribhanga actress concluded, “So, I can't comment on the future because such things happen when they happen. I never plan my future, God plans it for me. Honestly though, I think Govinda is a fab actor, an absolutely amazing actor. I've always said that making people laugh is very tough, and making them cry is easier. He's really, really fabulous and he has an amazing body of work, so touchwood, in the future somewhere maybe (the chances of them working together)...let's see.”
