Actor Govinda recently revealed that he rejected the billion-dollar franchise 'Avatar' for which he was worth Rs 18 crore citing a medical reason. In an interview with actor Mukesh Khanna, Govinda said he was thrilled with the offer but had to reject the money and did not want to commit to shoot for 410 days because he was scared that he might get hospitalized.
Govinda's concern was the movie would have required him to paint his body to get the blue appearance. In the movie, James Cameron decided to make characters appear in blue; it did not have a cinematic popularity and this made the alien characters distinct. He said that green was already associated with aliens, and human-like colors like pinks and browns weren't considered alien enough.
