Why Govinda rejected Avatar?

The '90s Bollywood star opened up about Avatar many years ago in an interview with Rajat Sharma. But earlier this year, Govinda once again talked about the film. He mentioned that he went to America a few years ago and met James through a businessman there. Govinda said, “He (businessman) asked me to do a film with James, so I invited them for dinner to discuss it. I have given the film’s title – Avatar. James told me the hero in the film was handicapped, so I said I am not doing the film. He offered me Rs. 18 crore for it and said I would be required to shoot for 410 days. I said that it is okay, but if I paint my body, I will be in the hospital.”

Talking about Avatar Fire and Ash, the film also stars Zoe Saldaña, Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Oona Chaplin, Kate Winslet and Michelle Yeoh in key roles.
