He’s in a league of his own as an actor and I don’t think I’ll come anywhere close.”Sai Paranjpye, who rewrote the film recognized a similarity between Zafar and Shaikh, "Both Shaikh and Zafar are aristocratic and cultured.And there's a certain masoomiyat (innocence) about them. When my co-writer Renuka and I began to re-write Chashme Buddoor for contemporary times, we immediately thought of Ali in Farooq's role."

Tamil actor, Siddharth will be stepping into Ravi Baswani's role. Director, David Dhawan explains that it was difficult to cast this role because, "Ravi Baswani is the only member of the cast who is no more and I miss him. Ravi and I were roommates when we were both starting out in our careers. I had to put Ravi in safe hands. I had to cast someone who I knew would do justice to his part.
Divyendu Sharma will be playing Rakesh Bedi's role in the remake, a lucky break for this actor who is best known for his role as "Liquid" in the sleeper hit Pyaar Ka Punchnama. Regarding his new role Divenydu says, "I am super excited to be part of such an iconic film and play Rakesh Bedi's character who has been favorite of entire nation for his amazing comic timing, I am also meeting him to get a much deeper take of his character in the film. Will try to justify it in a best possible way." and "I am a big fan of Sai Paranjpye's films and I've seen her Chashme Buddoor a number of times. This is just the break I wanted after Pyaar Ka Punchnama."
Regarding Divyendu's casting, David Dhawan says, "I wanted someone spontaneous, funny and intelligent to play Rakesh Bedi’s part. You see, with Rishi Kapoor and Anupam Kher in the cast and with Ali and Siddharth playing the two heroes, the third actor has to sparkle on screen. I saw that spark in Divyendu. Very bright actor. I am having a ball directing him and the rest."Music of the film is given by the pair of Sajid-Wajid.
The film is set to be released on February 22nd, 2013 and is currently in post-production.
