- Govinda has finished the shooting of his first home production ‘Sukh’ under the banner of M/s. Govinda Entertainment No. 1 in a span of 26 days.
The film directed by his brother Kirti Kumar (of ‘Hatya’ fame), stars Govinda, Chunkey Pandey, Preeti Jhangiani, Aarti Chabria, Sharad Saxena amongst others.

At a press conference organized at Panvel, Govinda, the producer seemed very much at ease as he introduced his starcast and technicians.
Everyone seemed to be in high praise for the newfound producer. Aarti Chabria said, “He is very organized and it is my privilege to be a part of his home production” Chunky Pandey added, “He is a maker, not a producer. He participated in the making of every aspect in the film. This is our first film together after ‘Aankhen’ and we will try to repeat the history of delivering another hit.”
Govinda was too modest to accept the praise, “It was a good and pleasant experience as a producer but the credit goes to my entire team without which nothing would have been possible,” he said, but was quick to add, “I realized how a producer feels when an actor comes late on sets. I vow not to be late on other producers’ sets from here on.”

Chi Chi (as he is fondly called) had his edgy moments as well. He said humorously, “Initially I was worried and scared as to why the shooting was getting over so quickly but thankfully found all was well to my satisfaction.”
Director Kirti Kumar had all praise for his younger brother that he has immensely matured as an artiste and it was a delight working with him.
Jackie Shroff makes a special appearance in the film. And Govinda is indebted to him for this because he refused to charge me a penny for this.
The story revolves around Chandraprakash (Govinda) and a photographer (Chunkey Pandey) and their wives, the sensitive, impulsive Bhavna (Aarti Chabria) and the typical Indian housewife, who loves her husband despite knowing his shortcomings (Preeti Jhangiani).
Govinda concluded, “Through ‘Sukh’ I am looking for a change in image. The idea of having a production house stemmed from the fact that I was getting sick of doing the same comedy and dances, again and again. I want to grow as an actor. Frankly, I reached a saturation point.” *
