Filmmaker David Dhawan said if a director’s film doesn’t work, actors tend to move elsewhere, adding, "They are loyal to no one." "But there was one actor I worked with who never cared whether my film worked or not...That actor was Govinda. Once...my film didn’t work...and...I was upset...He told me, ‘You just write...script’...Then I wrote Shola Aur Shabnam," he stated.
