Ranvir Shorey recalls signing David Dhawan and Govinda’s comeback film Do Knot Disturb “under pressure”; calls it “funniest casting experience”

Actor Ranvir Shorey recently shared an amusing yet revealing experience from his career. In an exclusive interview with News18, Shorey opened up about his time working on the 2009 comedy Do Knot Disturb, directed by David Dhawan and starring Govinda. The actor confessed that he took on the role “under pressure,” only to find himself playing a dead body for nearly the entire film.

The Unexpected Role in Do Knot Disturb Ranvir Shorey recalled the time when he had finished working on commercial films like Singh Is Kinng. He stated that he was hopeful that his career was on the verge of a significant change when he received a call from David Dhawan. During the chat, Shorey recalled the excitement of being offered a role by the legendary filmmaker, known for his box office successes. “My funniest casting experience involved David Dhawan sir. He called me up and said, ‘Tu bahot achcha actor hai, beta. Tu kya kaam karta hai, Ranvir!’” Shorey recounted, illustrating the high praise he received from Dhawan.

However, the reality of the role was far from what Shorey had anticipated. Ranvir said, “He then told me to do his next film called Do Knot Disturb, starring Govinda. It was their comeback film together as a director-actor duo. Since David Sir is a box office icon, I said yes under that pressure. And then he gave me a role where I was a dead body for almost 90 percent of the film (laughs),” Shorey shared with a laugh, adding that Dhawan’s compliment, “tu bahot achcha actor hai,” rang ironically in his ears throughout the shoot.

Beyond this humorous anecdote, the Ek Tha Tiger actor has also been candid about the challenges he has faced in his acting career. His recent appearance on Bigg Boss OTT season 3 surprised many, as he revealed the reasons behind his participation in the reality show. Shorey disclosed that he was going through a tough period where offers had dried up, and several projects he had worked on were not getting release dates. This dry spell led him to take up the opportunity to join Bigg Boss OTT.

Well, now he is out of the house after finishing at third runner-up. Currently, he is busy promoting his upcoming show, Shekhar Home, starring Kay Kay Menon.
