David
Dhawan's
Chashme
Baddoor
remake
released
on
Friday
alongside
the
digitally
restored
version
of
the
original,
but
the
filmmaker
is
unfazed
by
the
competition.
He
believes
the
simultaneous
release
would
create
curiosity
among
the
audiences.
"It's
a
good
thing.
Enjoy
it
in
a
good
spirit,
it's
a
new
thing.
It's
like
a
director's
special
and
has
been
released
that
way,
not
a
big
release
so
it's
OK.
At
least
it
will
create
curiosity
among
the
public.
Publicity
helps
in
the
long
run," the
52-year-old
said
here
on
Thursday
at
the
premiere
of
his
film.
It
is
said
that
for
the
first
time,
the
restored
version
of
an
original
film
has
released
with
its
remake.
Siddharth,
who
plays
one
of
the
three
friends
in
Dhawan's
Chashme
Baddoor,
said,
"If
young
generation
goes
and
watch
the
old
film
because
of
our
film,
then
it's
a
good
thing.
It's
like
if
people
go
back
and
enjoy
Sunil
Gavaskar's
batting
because
of
Virat
Kohli,
it's
a
good
thing."
Siddharth
further
adds
that
their
film
is
different
from
Sai
Paranjpye
directed
buddy-comedy.
"This
is
a
very
new
film,
it
has
not
been
made
by
watching
the
old
film.
It
is
wrong
to
say
so.
If
you
would
see
the
film,
you
would
not
say
(that
they
are
the
same).
If
it
was
not
named
Chashme
Baddoor,
then
also
it
would
have
worked.
It
is
a
different
film
by
David
Dhawan.
It's
a
David
Dhawan
bromance-comedy,"
said
the
Rang
De
Basanti
fame
actor.
While
the
original
Chashme
Baddoor
starred
Deepti
Naval,
Farooq
Sheikh,
Rakesh
Bedi
and
Ravi
Baswani,
the
remake
cast
also
includes
Ali
Zafar,
Divyendu
Sharma,
Taapsee
Pannu,
Rishi
Kapoor
and
Anupam
Kher.
