Govinda, the original 'King of Comedy', has made a successful comeback to Bollywood, first with BHAGAM BHAG and later SALAAM E ISHQ. The industry has whole heartedly welcomed one of the most natural actors in Bollywood with open arms.

Govinda is thankful to the industry for accepting him after a prolonged absence due to his other political commitments.

The industry also acknowledges that Govinda was at the forefront in bringing comedy to the mainstream films and since his arrival the genre has been doing so well at the Box Office. Hence it but natural for Govinda to be back again.

Even recently at a recent comedy award function, Shahrukh Khan acknowledged that comedy was one of the most difficult things to do. He added that Govinda was the 'King of Comedy' and he enjoyed watching his films.

Though being an MP, Govinda is still humility personified and in all honesty says, "I am thankful to the industry which has accepted me whole heartedly. Though there was a break in my career, I understood that my natural calling is Bollywood. I was getting restless to get back where I belonged. I am open to different kind of roles that will help me grow as an actor."

He adds, "Though most of my films did well earlier, I admit I didn't make some right choices later. But right now I would like to do good quality roles that will challenge me as an actor and help me grow. Bollywood has changed so much and so many different roles are being written. I want to explore new roles and challenges."

The latest buzz is that Govinda has been inundated with offers. Even national award winning director Aparna Sen is scripting a tailor made role for Govinda in realistic cinema.

This is not surprising though because Govinda is acknowledged in the industry as the most natural actor to grace Bollywood.

Does one almost sense the Govinda Mania sweeping again?
