And now multiple Indian publications have reported that Govinda's close friends believe he is going through psychological problems and is in dire need of help.

"Govinda has been acting strange for a long time. It is his habit to claim that he refused this or another big offer. This negativity is following him to the box office. Many distributors and exhibitors refused to touch his last film Rangeela Raja because he fought and abused them," one of Govinda's close friends was quoted as saying.

The friend further said that Govinda has cut off ties with many Bollywood biggies as the latter feels that his friends in the industry have let him down. "Today, Govinda has no friends in the film industry and no one to help him now," the friend added.

Recently, the actor had spoken about his scuffle with famous director David Dhawan and had said that he heard Dhawan saying on the phone that he doesn't want to work with him anymore. It is being said that the film-maker might try to bridge the gap once Govinda calms down.
