NEW DELHI: Bollywood actor Govinda is all set to make a comeback with former CFBC chairman Pahlaj Nihalani’s upcoming film ‘Rangeela Raja’, based on life of business tycoon and scamster Vijay Mallya.

Trade sources said that Govinda will play the embattled business tycoon in the movie. Talking to a TV channel, Nihalani said the film was a typical Bollywood entertainer with all the ingredients that go towards making a family entertainer.

Vijay Mallya,(62) the founder of Kingfisher Airlines, is wanted in India over fraud and money-laundering charges amounting to around Rs 9,000 crore. With the film, the ‘jodi’ of Nihaslani and Govinda are returning to the silver screen after nearly three decades. Pahlaj Nihalani had launched Govinda in ‘Ilzaam’ in 1986.

Sources said that Nihalani has already shot a song-and-dance sequence with Govinda for the film. (AGENCIES)
