In conversation with Ali Zafar
Ali Zafar is busy juggling between the promotions of his upcoming film Chashme Baddoor and shooting for film Chashme Baddoor. The actor speaks to TOI about Chashme Baddoor, David Dhawan and claims that he enjoys music and acting at the same time.
How did you get Chashme Baddoor? Tell us something about your role?
I got a call for this film and that's when I saw the original film. I loved character and everything fell in place. There are lot of changes in the script, narration and adapted to modern time. I am playing Farooq Shaikh's character from the old film.
With time things have changed. How do you see that and is there any conscious decision to make Chashme Baddoor for this age?
Every time has its own demands and there is a speed. In today's world youth needs everything fast and the patience level of audience have also reduced. To keep them engaged throughout has become difficult. There are more angles in the film; Rishi Kapoor is playing an important part too. The basic plot and soul has not been touched. We have maintained honesty.
You have played different characters. Is any character close to you?
An actor needs to play the character which is demanded in the film. In Mere Brother Ki Dulhan there was a flamboyant and loud character. While, in Chasme Badoor Iā am shown as a simple, direct person who has two friends who are in contrast. All I would say that it depends how you enjoy the characters.
How was your experience with David Dhawan?
