Zafar, 34, said Govinda will be seen in a completely new avatar.
"Govindaji is an exceptional actor. The character he is playing in this film is very different to what he had done in the past. People have never seen him like this. He is awesome as a villain in the film," Zafar told PTI.
The 'Tere Bin Laden' actor says he is lucky to share the screen space with his childhood favourite actor.
Zafar clarifies that the film is not an out-and-out action film as it has many humorous scenes too.
"Kill Dil is a gangster film but at the same time it is very funny and quirky. It is very cutting edge, fast paced commercial cinema. It has a very big humour quotient in it. The film is a new style of storytelling," he added.
