MUMBAI: David Dhawan’s Chashme Baddoor remake released on Friday alongside the digitally restored version of the original, but the film-maker 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. At least it will create curiosity among the public. Publicity helps in the long run,” the 52-year-old said 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 the young generation goes and watches 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 added that their film is different from the 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’ve seen both films, you would not say that they are the same,” said the actor. “If it was not named Chashme Baddoor, then it would have still worked. It is a different film by David Dhawan. It’s a David Dhawan bromance-comedy.”

While the original Chashme Baddoor starred Deepti Naval, Farooque Sheikh, Rakesh Bedi and Ravi Baswani, the remake cast also includes Ali Zafar, Divyendu Sharma, Taapsee Pannu, Rishi Kapoor and Anupam Kher.
