The David Dhawan Film Festival is happening in PVR and to have fun the legendary director, the multiplex chain organized a fireplace chat. It involved David Dhawan talking about his life and movies together with his son, Varun Dhawan. Incidentally, each are also gearing up for the discharge of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. The comic caper will arrive in cinemas on June 5. Towards the top of the event, David Dhawan opened up concerning the hardships he faced and the way actors sometimes declined to work with him.
David Dhawan admits he made Chashme Baddoor in ANGER: “I used to be not getting stars. They didn’t reject the film but they were hesitating”
David Dhawan said, “If a director’s film doesn’t work, toh actor usko dekh ke kahin aur muud jaayega. Actor ki jaat hi aisi hoti hai! Actor kisi ka saga nahin hai.” Varun was amused and in addition awkward, as he’s an actor. It also raised laughs.
David continued, “But there’s one actor I worked with who never bothered ki iski film chali ya nahin. That actor is Govinda. I remember once when my film didn’t work, I used to be upset. He told me, ‘Tu script likh na’! Then I wrote Shola Aur Shabnam (1992).”
Varun asked him, “Was there a time while you weren’t getting stars?” He replied, “Yes, I made Chashme Baddoor (2013). Bahut gusse mein banayi thi maine. Chintu ji (Rishi Kapoor) was there within the film as well. He told me, ‘I don’t have a task’. I replied, ‘Aap karo, yaar’! He did it for me (smiles).”
Varun then asked, “Did you face rejection from some actors?” David explained, “No, but I could feel it. They were hesitating. I desired to get out of that rut of stars, which was difficult. When one is ready to write down a very good script and get good songs, then that person could make a movie with newcomers.”
Chashme Baddoor starred Ali Zafar, Divyenndu and Siddharth. It marked the debut of Taapsee Pannu in Hind cinema.
