Tusshar has been playing the speech impaired character of 'Lucky' since 2006 in Rohit Shetty's hit comedy.
Actor Tusshar Kapoor, who has
become an intrinsic part of the Golmaal series, hopes to be
a part of every film in the hit franchise.
Tusshar has been playing the speech impaired character of 'Lucky'
since 2006 in Rohit Shetty's hit comedy. He did an extension
of the character in the sequel Golmaal Returns (2008) and
later in Golmaal 3 (2010).
"Golmaal is one such series that people really
liked. The film did well and so did my character. The entire
Golmaal series has been successful. I am happy that I have
been part of it since its inception. I hope I would be part of
every Golmaal film that comes in the future," Tusshar told
PTI.
Ask him if there are any plans of the fourth
installment,the 36-year-old says, "There are plans for it. But
I think Rohit Shetty will be the right person to talk about
it."
The actor's next film is Sanjay Gupta's Shootout at
Wadala, where he plays the role of a gangster called Sheikh
Munir, who was one of the most trusted lieutenant's of Manya
Surve, played by John Abraham.
"I think gangs have interesting stories and are an
intrinsic part of Mumbai's history. This time I play Muslim
gangster hailing from a Hindu gang from that era. I meet Manya
in jail and introduce him to the world of crime," he said.
"I read the script several times to understand the
character of Sheikh Munir. Besides I also visited Dongri, the
place from where he is, to understand the way the people speak
and behave," Tusshar added.
The actor is currently working on his next project
with Shashank Shah tentatively titled Bajate Raho.
"It is a revenge-romantic-comedy film. I play a Delhi
guy. I am paired opposite newcomer Vishaka," he said.
Meanwhile, Tusshar is quite excited about his TV debut
with comedy show Nautanki - The Comedy Circus as a mentor
along with actress Neha Dhupia.
"At the back of my mind I always had this thing that I
want to do TV. This opportunity came and I felt it was best
offer. I liked the concept and agreed to be part of it. I do
watch comedy shows on TV. Apart from that I also see dance
show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa," Tusshar said.
"Today TV has a wider reach. It is much bigger today.
TV offers lots of things to viewers from family shows, reality
shows and etc. It is an exciting time to be on small screen,"
he said.
