Triple Role for Anupam Kher In the Remake of Chashme Buddoor
It is the season of plenty for the Chashme Buddoorremake in Goa. Ever since David mentioned that he was searching for an alternative title for Chashme Buddoor, suggestions on twitter and other public forums have been pouring in.
And now with Sai Paranjpye’s Chashme Buddoor undergoing a complete image revamp, Anupam Kher who was signed to play a key comic role in Dhawan’s film, has a triple role.
Says David, “Anupam’s character is completely new to my Chashme Buddoor. He plays three brothers named Suryakant, Chandrakant and Prabhakant.”
The idea of turning Kher’s role into a triple role apparently materialized when the unit descended on Goa. According to a source, Anupam was meant to be a character who keeps showing up everywhere at the most inopportune time. Everyone in the team thought it would make more sense to have three of Anupam around.
Says David, “See, Anupam has done so much work, so many films and such varied characters. We’ve to find ways of re-inventing him for the audience. We’re having a ball shooting with three Anupams. He plays an army officer, a police officer and a civilian. The three brothers keep fighting all the time, one claiming he’s one minute older than the other, and so forth.”
Adds Anupam, “I always have a ball shooting with David. I’ve just returned from the US after shooting with David Russell for The Silver Lining Playboys. Now I’m shooting with another David in Goa. No two films and directors can be more dissimilar.”
