Amid the news of Govinda accidentally shooting himself with his revolver, here is a throwback on the time when he was trolled for arrogantly claiming to reject James Cameron's Hollywood movie Avatar.
Remember when Govinda had claimed that he was offered a major role in the 2009 American science-fiction film Avatar? He also said that he was the one who gave the title to James Cameron, a filmmaker also known for Titanic; and told him that it would take seven years to make this film and that it would be a superhit.

In an episode of Aap Ki Aadalat, he said, "Maine keh diya tha uss (Cameron) se ki ye picture bohot chalne waali hai. Maine bola tumhari film 7 saal nahin ban payegi toh wo bohot gussa ho gaya mujhse. Wo bola aisa kaise keh sakte ho tum? Main jiss type ka aadmi hun, tum 410 din mujhe colour karoge body mein. Maine kaha mujhse nahin hoga sorry.
("I had told him (Cameron) that this movie is going to be a big hit. I said that your film wouldn't be made for seven years, and he got really angry with me. He said, 'How can you say that?' I told him, 'The kind of person I am, you will take 410 days to color my body.' I said, 'I can't do it, sorry.')"
