Interesting facts

Chashme Baddoor is a 2013 Indian Hindi-language slapstick comedy film directed by David Dhawan and written by Sajid and Farhad Samji. An official remake of the 1981 film Chashme Buddoor, it was produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and stars Ali Zafar and Taapsee Pannu with Divyenndu and Siddharth in lead roles. The film was released on 5 April 2013.

Development

Development on the Chashme Baddoor remake began in 2006, with Onir initially attached to the film. David Dhawan was later announced to be directing the film, and Sai Paranjpye, the director of the 1981 film, would be writing the script. Dhawan commented that there would be some changes for the remake, such as the story getting updated to modern day and the remake having a larger budget than the 1981 film.

In 2011 Siddharth was confirmed as portraying Jomo, with Dhawan stating that it was difficult casting the role due to Ravi Baswani's death in 2010 and that he wanted to cast someone that could "do justice to his part". Divyendu Sharma was later announced as performing Omi.

Filming took place in Mauritius, in 2012, with Ali Zafar becoming injured during a fight sequence with Ayaz Khan.
