David Dhawan admits he made Chashme Baddoor in ANGER: \u201cI was not getting stars. They didn\u2019t reject the film but they were hesitating\u201d<\/p>\n

David Dhawan said, \u201cIf a director\u2019s film doesn\u2019t work, toh actor usko dekh ke kahin aur muud jaayega. Actor ki jaat hi aisi hoti hai! Actor kisi ka saga nahin hai.\u201d Varun was amused and also awkward, as he\u2019s an actor. It also raised laughs.<\/p>\n

David continued, \u201cBut there\u2019s 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\u2019t work, I was upset. He told me, \u2018Tu script likh na\u2019! Then I wrote Shola Aur Shabnam (1992).\u201d<\/p>\n

Varun asked him, \u201cWas there a time when you were not getting stars?\u201d He replied, \u201cYes, I made Chashme Baddoor (2013). Bahut gusse mein banayi thi maine. Chintu ji (Rishi Kapoor) was there in the film as well. He told me, \u2018I don\u2019t have a role\u2019. I replied, \u2018Aap karo, yaar\u2019! He did it for me (smiles).\u201d<\/p>\n

Varun then asked, \u201cDid you face rejection from some actors?\u201d David explained, \u201cNo, but I could feel it. They were hesitating. I wanted to get out of that rut of stars, which was difficult. When one is able to write a good script and get good songs, then that person can make a film with newcomers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chashme Baddoor starred Ali Zafar, Divyenndu and Siddharth. It marked the debut of Taapsee Pannu in Hind cinema.<\/p>\n
