After making two serious films, director Onir now wants to make a light hearted flick.
Although Onir’s first movie My Brother Nikhil found critical acclaim, his last film Bas Ek Pal appealed neither to the critics nor to masses. Taking a break from serious subjects, Onir is now looking forward to pay a cinematic tribute to his former mentor Sai Paranjpye by re-making her 1981 movie ‘Chashme Baddoor’ that starred Farooq Sheikh, Deepti Naval, Ravi Vaswani and Rakesh Bedi.
Onir reportedly wants Kareena Kapoor to play the soap salesgirl in the film. He thinks Kareena has an excellent sense of comic timing.
Onir says although his film’s subject would be same in the spirit to Paranjpye’s movie, certain changes will be made to make the story more contemporary.
Also, the movie will not star Onir’s favourite actor Sanjay Suri .
It is still not known whether Kareena will do the film. But Onir is hopeful of getting her consent.
