Sunny Singh and Fatima Sana Shaikh to star in Chashme Baddoor sequel?

Sajid Samji is all set to make his debut as a solo director with a sequel to 2013 film Chashme Baddoor which was directed by David Dhawan back then. Now, according to a daily, the director has locked his script. Titled Chashme Baddoor 2, the romcom features Sunny Singh of Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety fame, and possibly Fatima Sana Shaikh, reported the daily. 

According to a source close to the development, Sajid was initially in talks with Jacqueline Fernandez for the female lead but things didn’t work out. “The idea was to have a fresh pairing, and after Sunny who is being appreciated for his special appearance in the recently released De De Pyaar De came on board, the makers are now in talks with Fatima and hopeful of getting her nod,” informed the source.

The comedy is expected to go on floors by year-end. “It is currently in prep with the team zeroing in on the locations and getting the logistics in place,” the source added. Apart from Sunny and Fatima, the makers are looking to cast a couple of more actors.

Chashme Baddoor was a remake of Sai Paranjpye’s yesteryear classic Chashme Buddoor which revolved around three roommates. The 2013 film had Ali Zafar, Siddharth, Divyendu Sharma and Taapsee Pannu in the lead. It also starred Rishi Kapoor and Lillette Dubey in pivotal roles.
