David Dhawan remaking Chashme Buddoor

MUMBAI: David Dhawan is all set to remake the 1981 made Sai Paranjpye classic Chashme Buddoor.

Chashme Buddoor, that featured Deepti Naval, Farooque Shaikh and Saeed Jaffrey, was the story of three friends – Siddharth (Shaikh), Omi (Rakesh Bedi) and Jomo (Ravi Baswani) – and their obsession for a girl Neha (Deepti Naval).

Dhawan has signed Pakistani actor-singer Ali Zafar to play the role essayed by Shaikh while former winner of Femina Miss Fresh Face and several other beauty pageants, Taapsee will play the role that Naval played.

Other players are still being finalised.

Tapasee has even played the lead in South films like Jhummandi Naadam and Aadukalam.
