After
giving
the
industry
some
of
its
hit
comedies,
veteran
filmmaker
David
Dhawan
says
he
wants
to
bid
adieu
to
slapstick
films
and
make
meaningful
films.
Dhawan
(52),
who
is
behind
films
like
Raja
Babu,
Coolie
No.
1,
Judwaa,
Biwi
No.
1
and
many
more,
said
the
new
filmmakers
have
inspired
him
to
make
cinema
which
is
more
realistic
and
at
the
same
time
entertaining.
"After
directing
40
films
in
my
career
till
now,
I
want
to
make
films
which
are
more
realistic.
Our
industry
is
going
through
the
best
phase
and
these
young
generation
is
extremely
talented.
This
is
the
time
for
experimental
cinema.
I
am
also
following
the
same
trend
and
have
decided
not
to
make
mindless
comedies.
I
want
to
make
meaningful
and
entertaining
films," Dhawan
told
PTI.
Dhawan
is
making
a
comeback
after
a
gap
of
four
years
with
Chashme
Baddoor
remake
and
for
the
first
time
he
did
not
cast
his
lucky
charms
Govinda,
Sanjay
Dutt
and
Anil
Kapoor.
The
film
will
see
a
bevy
of
young
talents
including
Ali
Zafar,
Taapsee
Pannu
and
Divyendu
Sharma.
It
also
stars
Southern
star
Siddharth,
who
made
his
debut
with
Aamir
Khan
starrer
Rang
De
Basanti
in
2006.
"I
was
enjoying
a
small
break
from
films
in
these
years.
One
day
the
studio
bosses
of
Viacom
18
Motion
Pictures
approached
me
and
asked
me
to
make
a
remake
of
1981
film
Chashme
Baddoor.
I
agreed
to
do
that
because
it
was
a
hit
of
that
time
and
was
close
to
my
heart
because
the
then
actors
in
the
film
are
good
friends
of
mine.
I
changed
the
script
with
writer
Sai
Paranjpye
almost
eighty
per
cent
and
gave
it
a
today's
feel.
I
scouted
for
actors
and
think
have
got
best
of
the
lot.
They
all
are
extremely
talented
and
keen
to
learn
actors,"
Dhawan
said.
