MUMBAI: Viacom18 Motion Pictures’ David Dhawan-directed Chasme Baddoor has been slated to release on 31 August.

The film has Pakistani singer-actor Ali Zafar in the role that was essayed by Farooque Shaikh. South star Siddharth will play the late Ravi Baswani’s role in the film while southern beauty Tapasee will play the role that Deepti Naval played in the original.

It is said that Chasme Baddoor is just the working title as the director hasn’t been able to find an alternate name for his remake. He finally sought the help of Anupam Kher who promptly helped him by tweeting, “David Dhawan is looking for an alternate title for Chashme Buddoor‘. Incidentally, Kher has also an important role in the film.
