After giving the industry some of its hit comedies, veteran filmmaker David Dhawan says he wants to bid adieu to slapstick films and make meaningful films. Dhawan, 52, who is behind films like “Raja Babu”, “Coolie No. 1”, “Judwaa”, “Biwi No.1” and many more, said the new filmmakers have inspired him to make cinema which is more realistic and at the same time entertaining. “After directing 40 films in my career till now, I want to make films which are more realistic. Our industry is going through the best phase and the young generation is extremely talented. This is the time for experimental cinema. I am also following the same trend and have decided not to make mindless comedies. I want to make meaningful and entertaining films,” Dhawan said. Dhawan is making a comeback after a gap of four years with “Chashme Buddoor” remake and for the first time he did not cast his lucky charms Govinda, Sanjay Dutt and Anil Kapoor. The film will see a bevy of young talents including Ali Zafar, Taapsee Pannu and Divyendu Sharma. It also stars southern star Siddharth, who made his debut with Aamir Khan starrer “Rang De Basanti” in 2006.
